The police officer who shot dead an Irishman in the US has resigned.
Tony Gonzalez (35) was cleared of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of Andrew Hanlon. He was later charged with sexually abusing a girl in an unrelated case.
Gonzalez was to be put on unpaid leave with the Silverton Police Department in Oregon last Friday, but authorities have revealed that he quit the same day.
The local chief of police, Rick Lewis, has declined to comment on the resignation.
Gonzalez was cleared by a grand jury of any criminal wrongdoing in the shooting of Mr Hanlon (20), in Silverton on June 30.
The family of Mr Hanlon, from Dundrum in Dublin, yesterday announced plans to take further legal action in relation to the shooting.
Mr Gonzalez has said in evidence that he regretted the shooting but was left with no choice when Mr Hanlon ran at him as the officer responded to an earlier report of a robbery.
