The Fort Wayne Police Department said in a statement that the department and Indiana <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/police-and-law-enforcement" target="_blank">State Police</a> have determined that Fry’s actions "were consistent with department policy and the use of force was reasonable."

An 18-year-old man was killed by Indiana police last year. The officer who shot the teen was justified, according to the Allen County Prosecutor's Office.
