A California police officer who was caught on dashboard video shooting a suspect in a fatal DUI rollover crash last month will not face any charges in what officials are calling a case of ‘accidental discharge.’

Butte County prosecutors announced last week that the November 25 shooting of Andrew Thomas in Paradise, California, was 'unintentional and possibly negligent, but not criminally so.'

Meanwhile, Thomas, 26, who suffered a gunshot wound to the neck but survived, is still facing a charge of drunken vehicular manslaughter for causing the crash that killed his wife, 23-year-old Darien Ehorn.

The entire incident was captured on video, beginning with a high-speed police chase the preceded the rollover crash just before midnight on November 25.

The graphic footage shows the moment Paradise Officer Patrick Feaster emerges from his patrol vehicle and immediately shoots Thomas as he me makes an apparent attempt to climb out of his overturned Toyota 4Runner.

The 26-year-old driver slumps back into the interior of the car as more officers converge on the scene.

His wife's lifeless body, which is digitally obscured in the video, was found lying on the road, having been ejected from the SUV on impact.

Just days after the shooting, District Attorney Mike Ramsey ruled the shooting 'an accidental; discharge,' saying that the determination was made after examining the dashcam footage frame by frame.

The five-year police veteran later told other cops he did not intend to fire his gun at Thomas

A report concluded that Feaster appears surprised by the shot in the footage, leading officials to believe that the semi-automatic pistol discharged unintentionally

The prosecutor said it is clear from the video that Feaster was surprised by his gun going off.

Feaster’s ‘reaction on the dash cam video and his statements to protocol investigators confirm an honest belief that he did not intentionally fire his pistol,’ Ramsey said in a press release cited by Action News Now.

Not out of the woods: While Feaster would not face any charges in the case, he remains the the subject of an internal investigation

The two-week investigation into the shooting found that Officer Feaster was on patrol near the Canteena Bar shortly before midnight on Thanksgiving Day when he spotted Andrew Thomas' Toyota SUV drive by at a high speed and without headlights on.

Feaster got in his patrol car and followed Thomas' vehicle, which was doing 50-60mph, according to an incident report obtained by KCRC-TV.

After turning east on Pearson Road, the SUV slammed into a median at the intersection of Pearson and Black Olive Road and flipped over.

Darien Ehorn was ejected from the passenger seat, landing on the road. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The video from Feaster's car shows the officer walking towards the overturned Toyota when he sees Thomas pop out of a side window.

According to the report, the cop thought that the driver was trying to flee the scene. That is when he pulled out his .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol and trained it on Thomas.

A moment later, the weapon went off, shooting Thomas in the neck.

A test later determined that his blood alcohol level at the time of the crash was .15.

Feaster told other officers that night that he did not intend to fire his gun. The report states that police officers are trained to fire two rounds when they intentionally shoot. Since Feaster fired only once, it helped convince the district attorney's office that the shooting was unintentional.

On Thursday, Mike Ramsey announced that no charges would be filed against Feaster, a five-year veteran of the department who remains on administrative leave.

Feaster still faces an internal investigation, which could take several weeks. Depending on its outcome, he could face disciplinary action ranging in severity from a letter of reprimand to termination.

More than two weeks after the crash, Thomas remains at Enloe Medical Center paralyzed from the chest down.
