Yuma police officer is cleared in fatal shooting last year

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — The Yuma County Sheriff's Office has determined that the fatal shooting of an armed man by a Yuma police officer late last year was justified. Two officers responded Nov. 24 to a Yuma residence on a domestic violence call. The policemen say they encountered 51-year-old Steve Steenhard, who was standing in the home's garage in front of an open gun safe. The officers reported seeing Steenhard reach into the safe. Steenhard was shot by one of the policeman and a semi-automatic handgun was located near Steenhard's body. He later died at a hospital.
