The jury came back with the verdict shortly after 4 p.m. Friday.
Back in June 2010 authorities responded to a domestic call at a home along Liberty Road near the intersection of Green Valley Road by the town of Union Bridge.
The victim, Veronica Harding-Perkins, fired at State Troopers during a police stand-off.
The 46-year old then retreated inside her home. Later when Harding-Perkins came out of her home again she pointed a gun at police.
A trooper, Sgt. Eric Corbin, then fired several shots in her direction, killing her.
The family filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit in 2011 for wrongful death, excessive use of force and other allegations.
