Police say officers were trying to serve an arrest warrant on Michael Lembhard in March when he ran into his sister's house and grabbed a kitchen knife. Officials say that two officers fired 16 rounds at Lembhard after he lunged at them with the knife.
Orange County District Attorney Frank Phillips announced Tuesday that a grand jury determined that no criminal charges be filed against officers Nicholas Cardinale and Eric Henderson.
Lembhard's relatives told the Times Herald-Record of Middletown (http://bit.ly/NnvQgm ) that the grand jury's decision backed up their belief that the district attorney's investigation was biased. Their lawyer said he expected to file a civil lawsuit soon.
