A Montgomery County grand jury has cleared a police
officer of criminal wrongdoing in the shooting death of a 25-year-old
Adelphi man in July, authorities said yesterday. Candice
Marchone, a member of the Montgomery police force for seven years, shot
and killed Peter A. Njang outside an apartment complex in White Oak on
Aug. 12. A grand jury on Thursday determined that the shooting was
justified, ending potential criminal prosecution of Marchone, said
Montgomery State's Attorney Douglas F. Gansler.[more ]
