In a statement, the DuPage County State's Attorney called the shooting a tragedy but said the evidence must support a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

The village says that Pfingston is no longer employed by the Carol Stream Police Department.

Isaac Goodlow's family says their attention now turns to a federal civil suit. They filed the lawsuit in February against Carol Stream and the officers involved in the shooting, claiming Goodlow's constitutional rights were violated.
