Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau's office announced Thursday that the grand jury ruled against charging Officer Andrew Dunton in connection with the May 28th shooting of Officer Omar Edwards.

Edwards, 25, was gunned down by Dunton while chasing a robbery suspect in East Harlem. Police say he was in plane clothes and chasing the man with his police-issued weapon drawn.

Police charge that they did not realize Edwards was also an officer until after he was shot and that his shield was in his pocket.

Dunton has been on administrative duty since the shooting. He may still face an internal NYPD disciplinary review.

The Reverend Al Sharpton responded to the ruling by once again calling on the governor to authorize a special prosecutor in the case.

The police department says it has made many changes since the shooting, including the completion of an updated training video regarding confrontation situations and the creation of a new policy to better train rookie officers.

"While the department was previously constrained from conducting a full review of the incident, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly nonetheless took certain steps in the wake of the shooting to reduce the likelihood of a future confrontation shooting incidents between members of the Police Department," said an NYPD spokesperson in a statement.
