The Berrien County Prosecutor’s office has cleared a Berrien County sheriff’s deputy of wrongdoing in the shooting of a suspect last year.
Deputy Aaron Nannfeldt fatally shot David Simmons Jr. on November 13 after Simmons opened fire on police during a domestic call in Hagar Township.
Simmons shot an officer with the Coloma Township Police Department in the incident. That officer has since recovered.
The prosecutor’s office reviewed body cam footage and other evidence and says Nannfeldt committed no crime.
The Berrien County Sheriff’s Department last month awarded a Medal of Valor, its highest honor, to Deputy Nannfeldt for saving the lives of fellow officers in the November 13 incident.
