“Fargo Shooting: Officer Robinson Justified in Using Deadly Force on Mohammed Barakat”

In a tragic incident that occurred in Fargo, North Dakota, Fargo police officer Jake Wallin lost his life. However, the North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley has come forward to support the actions of Officer Zach Robinson, who shot and killed Mohammed Barakat, the identified shooter. Wrigley stated that after reviewing body camera footage of the incident, he believes that Robinson’s use of deadly force was reasonable, necessary, justified, and lawful.

According to Wrigley, Barakat had engaged in a murderous and unprovoked attack, firing a long rifle at Officer Robinson. After Robinson incapacitated Barakat’s rifle, Barakat rearmed himself with another weapon. Despite being commanded sixteen times to drop the weapon, Barakat did not comply, and Robinson neutralized the threat.

Wrigley commended Robinson for his presence of mind, professionalism, and courage during the incident. Fargo mayor Tim Mahoney also expressed his belief that Barakat was planning mayhem and violence on the community, based on the photos of the weapons found in his possession.

The Attorney General has announced that further details regarding Wallin’s murder and the ongoing investigation will be discussed in a news conference on July 21. While the body camera footage is expected to be released at a later date, it is clear from Wrigley’s statements that Officer Robinson’s use of deadly force was deemed necessary to protect himself and others from an imminent threat.

This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that law enforcement officers face while protecting the community. It also highlights the importance of body cameras in providing transparency and accountability in such situations. The community mourns the loss of Officer Wallin and stands in support of Officer Robinson, who acted bravely in the face of danger to ensure the safety of others..
