The two officers were justified in using deadly force to subdue 22-year-old Kendrell Hall on June 9, District Attorney Fran Chardo announced Thursday.that killed 22-year-old Kendrell Hall last month determined the police officers who fired on Hall were justified in doing so.Hall was pronounced dead at the scene on the 200 block of Pine Street.
Chardo said his review of the incident was limited to whether the actions of the officers involved violated criminal law, and did not examine whether the use of force was otherwise proper, including whether it violated any department policy or created non-criminal liability, as such an inquiry would be beyond the prosecutorial function.
A Capitol Police officer with his K9 partner, Rex, joined the Harrisburg officer in the chase. They chased Hall down Susquehanna Street to South Street. At Susquehanna and South Street, Hall drew a pistol with an extended magazine and pointed it back at the officers without firing. While they heard gunfire, the officers then fired upon Hall resulting in four gunshot wounds and causing his death. According to Chardo, the firearm that Hall used had an extended magazine and a “Glock switch” which allowed the pistol to discharge automatic fire. The device caused the firearm to jam as Hall discharged it in the alcove.
In August 2020, Hall was arrested again for illegally possessing a Glock 9mm pistol. In that case, Hall pleaded guilty to carrying a firearm without a license, carrying a firearm during an emergency, and unlawful possession of a firearm arm by a person with a prior juvenile adjudication for a felony, according to Chardo.
