Coroner confirms police justified in fatal shooting of Justin Filardo

Coroner David Ryan concluded on Tuesday that police actions were justified when they fatally shot Justin James Filardo, 45, who was attacking his sister, Bianca, last year in Melbourne. Ryan stated that Filardo's death could not have been avoided given the threat to Bianca and the ineffectiveness of non-lethal options. The incident underscores the challenges of managing severe mental illness.
