The Eau Claire Police Chief is clearing an officer in connection with a deadly 2017 officer-involved shooting. The verdict is that Sergeant Jesse Henning was justified in using deadly force against Michael Caponigro. That incident happened a year ago at a home in the 45-hundred block of Woodford Court, when Caponigro fired on officers during negotiations in a standoff with police. Henning then shot him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
