What a garbage headline. It’s meant to minimize her role or make her look like a liar.
Matthew Murray, 24, was struck multiple times by a security officer at New Life Church Sunday, but his death was ruled a suicide, the El Paso County Coroner's Office concluded after an autopsy.
Also Tuesday, Minneapolis police Sgt. Jesse Garcia said Assam was fired from the Minneapolis force in 1997 for lying during an internal investigation. Sgt. John Delmonico, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, said police were investigating a complaint that Assam swore at a bus driver while she was handling an incident on a city bus.
I don’t think the pathologist had any political motive. Pathologists at autopsies are attempting to find out the ultimate cause of death and any contributing factors. It appears the self-inflicted shot was what killed him, and the other injuries were not severe enough to have contributed to his death. The headline is accurate.
I bet this will take a load off Assam’s mind. She did what she had to in the circumstances, but ultimately she was not responsible for his death.

The AP covered the liar story yesterday as she was fired from a police job around ‘94 for lying in an internal investigation . http://www.startribune.com/12356581.html
