Fairfax County Police have released security camera footage showing the sequence of events that lead up to and immediately followed Master Deputy Sheriff Patrick McPartlin shooting Yovani Amaya Gomez at the bus depot outside Inova Fairfax Hospital on Aug. 15.
Last Friday, Dec. 16, Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Morrogh announced his decision that McPartlin was not criminally liable in the shooting and that it was a "justified homicide."
