The state inspector general declined to file charges against the Hartford police officer who shot and killed a man during a mental health crisis in February.

The deadly encounter that happened at an apartment on Capitol Avenue was captured on body camera video.

Investigators say 53-year-old Everard Walker was holding a knife when he went after an officer who had fallen to the floor. That's when officer Alexander Clifford fired his gun four times.

The inspector general ruled the use of deadly force was legally justified, and no further action will be taken.
