Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk said Tuesday that his office will not pursue charges against Metro Nashville Police Officer Kendall Coon in the fatal police shooting of music producer Mark Capps and is asking the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to close the review, the Tennessean reports. In a letter obtained by the Tennessean, Funk wrote TBI agent James Scarbro that Coon's actions were reasonably necessary considering the facts and circumstances in the case. Coon was one of three Nashville SWAT officers who were attempting to serve aggravated assault and kidnapping warrants to Capps at his home after Capps had allegedly held his wife and stepdaughter at gunpoint the previous night.
