The Boise Police Officer who shot and killed the man who shot and killed Deputy Bolter earlier this year has been found justified.

The Bonner County Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the evidence collected by the investigation that was led by the Garden City Police Department, as part of the Ada County Critical Incident Task Force, and has said "I find that all officers involved exercised an amazing level of restraint and professionalism in this situation."

Deputy Bolter was conducting a routine traffic stop on the night of April 20, 2024, when a man later identified as Dennis Mulqueen fatally shot Deputy Bolter through the driver's side window.

According to information released by the City of Boise, responding officers were able to track Mulqueen to where he had abandoned his car near an apartment complex, and set up a perimeter. According to the Bonner County Prosecuting Attorney, "Officers showed a great deal of restraint and did not confront Mulqueen for over an hour. During this period of time, Mulqueen obviously knew the police had found him, however, he refused to follow commands he was being given by a loudspeaker to surrender."

A BPD tactical team eventually advanced on Mulqueen's position. He opened fire with his handgun at the advancing officers, hitting a tactical shield, according to BPD. A Boise Detective returned fire, striking Mulqueen twice and killing him at the scene.

“The loss of Deputy Tobin Bolter in the line of duty was a tragedy that will have long and lasting impacts on both our law enforcement community and the entire Treasure Valley community. Our hearts go out to Deputy Bolter’s family, friends, and colleagues as we continue to release information about this incredibly difficult time. After a thorough investigation, it has been determined that the officers involved acted in accordance with the law and in protection of their community,” said Boise Police Chief Chris Dennison.
