No federal civil rights charges will be brought in the 2010 shooting death of Danroy Henry Jr. a college football player from Easton, by a Pleasantville, N.Y police officer.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara told the Associated Press on Tuesday that evidence in in the Thornwood, N.Y. shooting failed to establish the "exacting standard of criminal intent" required for criminal charges.

Bharara says the conclusion was made following an exhaustive examination of all evidence which included consultation with experts.

Aaron Hess, the officer who shot the Pace University football player, was earlier cleared by a grand jury.

Henry was shot in his car on Homecoming Day while driving through a parking lot away from a disturbance that spilled out of a bar.
