In a report released by the Middlesex District Attorney’s office Thursday, a judge wrote that officer Liam McMahon’s decision to shoot Sayed Arif Faisal was justified because it was reasonable for the officer to assume he was in danger of being injured or killed.
Arif Sayed Faisal was shot and killed by police on Jan. 4, as officers responded to a report that a man had jumped out of an apartment window with a knife and appeared to be cutting himself. Many at a community meeting Thursday said they were not satisfied with officials saying they could not give more details.
