A special prosecutor has cleared three Columbia police officers involved in a deadly 2020 officer-involved shooting, saying they acted within the law when they shot and killed suspect Curtis Haas. Special prosecutor Christopher Wilson of Callaway County reviewed body-camera video footage from the three officers, along with video footage from a civilian eyewitness.
