It was just an official from training I received. >> At the time of the shooting, did you perceive any other option other than the use of deadly force? >> No. >> The Bureau of Criminal Investigation assumed control of the officer-involved shooting case. According to BCI records, 34-year-old suspect Kelsey Hildahl had a lengthy history of mental health struggles dating back to childhood. Documented interventions include her brain surgery at age 10 to control spasms, Kelsey's parents calling for her arrest at age 14, followed by months of boot camp, and admission to Montana Academy, a boarding school for psychologically troubled teens, where she reportedly ran away and almost froze to death. In adulthood, Kelsey played college basketball and won amateur MMA championships. >> CHAMPION KELSEY [screaming] HILDAHL! >> HOWEVER, family members reported a recent decline in her mental state. Her mother told investigators Kelsey had become increasingly paranoid, believing that demons, cartel members, and even law enforcement were targeting her and her family. A search of her vehicle uncovered several concerning items, including the handgun she brandished, found to have a bullet in the chamber, body armor, two shotguns with ammunition, and approximately $6,000 in cash. The BCI completed its investigation 4 weeks after the shooting. Ultimately, prosecutors determined the trooper's use of force was reasonable, appropriate, and necessary to protect both himself and others.
