WATERTOWN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- This week, the state's Department of Justice released a report on the death of a man shot by a Watertown police officer in October.
Justin Whitten had a gun in his hand when Officer James Simon shot him outside an apartment building Oct. 18.
Hundreds of photos, body camera and dash cam videos were released in addition to the report.
The Jefferson County district attorney said there is no basis to prosecute Simon.
