Roundup: No murder charge in officer death and other incidents
Memphis police say the off duty officer was not acting in official police action when killed in a shootout with neighbor Lorenzo Clark and there is insufficient evidence to charge Clark with murder. Also reported: a Detroit area woman charged after shooting at shoplifters, a Boise plane belly landing on I-84, and a Periscope linked DUI arrest in Lakeland with video released by police.
