(Fargo, ND) -- Four Fargo Police officers are being cleared of wrongdoing in connection with a deadly shooting in Mapleton earlier this year.

Chief David Zibolski told the City of Fargo Police Advisory and Oversight Board Tuesday that after conducting an internal investigation, the officers weren't found to be in violation of FPD policies.

The officers were previously cleared of any criminal charges by Attorney General Drew Wrigley and the North Dakota BCI.

The shooting happened at the home of Andrew Martinez August 1st, after Martinez was believed to be having a mental health crisis and pointed a rifle at officers and neighbors.
