GLEN BURNIE, Md. — No charges will be filed against police officers that were involved in a deadly shooting that took place last November in Glen Burnie.
Anne Arundel County Corporal J. Burger fatally shot Digno Ramon Yorro, Jr. inside a townhouse on Braden Loop, when he refused to drop a knife.
Police were initially called to the location after Yorro allegedly chased his fiance from the home with a knife.
The fiance expressed concern for the safety of Yorro's elderly mother who had recently been reported missing by other family members.
Yorro apparently told his fiance that he and his mother had gotten into a fight the night prior. She told police blood was seen scattered around the house.

While trying to look inside the garage for the mother, the fiance claimed Yorro threatened her with a knife.
Arriving officers had to break down the front door of the home when they got on scene, because Yorro wouldn't answer.
Once inside, Yorro had knife in hand leading to a brief standoff with police.
After several ignored requests to drop the weapon, police fired beanbags which appeared to have no effect.
Police then moved onto the taser, which also failed to disarm Yorro.
Despite being tased, police body cam footage shows Yorro still on his feet walking towards officers with the knife.
Corporal Burger resorts to his handgun, shooting and killing him.
Following the encounter, officers searched the garage and found Yorro's mother dead. She'd been stabbed multiple times.
Following an investigation from the Maryland Attorney General's Office, the County State’s Attorney declined to press charges against the officers.
