Hamilton County's prosecutor says the four Cincinnati Police officers involved in a Fountain Square bank shooting did nothing wrong. Joe Deters says the officers acted heroically and saved lives when they shot and killed 29-year-old Omar Enrique Santa-Perez last week.
He opened fire in the Fifth Third Center lobby, .
Four officers, Jennifer Chilton, Antonio Etter, Eric Kaminsky, and Gregory Toyeas shot and killed the gunman minutes after he started firing. Deters says the evidence showed the shooting was justified and was overwhelming. The prosecutor says "we will never know how many people they saved that day."

Investigators say Santa-Perez was carrying about 250 rounds of ammunition, and fired 35 times before his 9mm handgun jammed.
Such an investigation is standard after a police involved shooting.
