ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A cab driver has been found not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting of an Alexandria police officer last year.

After a four-day bench trial, Judge James Clark ruled Thursday that 29-year-old Kashif Bashir (keh-SHEEF’ beh-SHEER’) did not know right from wrong when he shot Officer Peter Laboy in the head after a traffic stop.
