(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Attorney General’s Office has issued rulings in two police shootings in eastern Iowa. One report involves the shooting of John Carl Piazza by a Waterloo officer after a standoff at his home in March. The report says the shooting was legally justified after Piazza pointed a shotgun at an officer. Police were called after Piazza had visited a hospital seeking help for anxiety and then left saying he wanted to kill someone. Police say he fired a gun at an automotive shop before going to his home.

The other shooting happened in April 20204 in Cedar Rapids. Police say David Vanderhamm pointed a gun at an officer and was shot. It was later found the gun was an airsoft rifle. Vanderhamm had called 9-1-1 requesting officers come to his home after previously being taken to the hospital and refusing treatment.

The A-G’s office says that shooting was also legally justified.
