COLUMBUS (AP) — A lawyer representing the family of a man shot by two plainclothes Columbus police officers last year says relatives still don’t understand why charges weren’t brought against the officers.

Attorney Sean Walton says the complete investigative file of the June 2016 shooting of Henry Green doesn’t appear to corroborate officers’ account of what happened.
Walton says the family still hopes a special prosecutor might review the case.
The officers say in the file released Monday that they shot at Green fearing for their lives after he opened fire on them.
Officers Jason Bare and Zachary Rosen also said in written statements taken afterward that they shouted “police” before shooting Green.
A grand jury last month declined to indict the officers in Green’s death.
