Pacifica police officers justified in March shooting death, San Mateo DA finds

SAN MATEO COUNTY — Two Pacifica police officers who used deadly force in reaction to a woman pointing a gun first at one, then at the other were justified, the district attorney said Friday following an investigation.

San Mateo District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe concluded that there is no basis to file criminal charges against Pacifica Police Corporal Hayden Fry and Officer Kevin Contreras for the fatal shooting of 50-year-old Michelle Arrais on March 27, according to the report released Friday.
