Fatal shooting of University of South Carolina student who tried to enter wrong home 'justifiable,' police say
The homeowner who fatally shot a 20-year-old University of South Carolina student who tried to enter the wrong home on the street he lived on Saturday morning will not face charges because the incident was deemed "a justifiable homicide" under state law, Columbia police announced Wednesday.
Police said the identity of the homeowner who fired the gunshot that killed Nicholas Donofrio shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday will not be released because the police department and the Fifth Circuit Solicitor’s Office determined his actions were justified under the state's controversial "castle doctrine" law, which holds that people can act in self-defense towards "intruders and attackers without fear of prosecution or civil action for acting in defense of themselves and others."
Probably a good idea if you tend to drunkenly break into homes in the middle of the night
I don't, but I also don't want people to think they can just shoot me with no repercussions.
No one does. There's some relevant context here that you seem to be ignoring.
I don't think it's nearly as relevant as you seem to think it is.
You're missing punctuation after the word think.
So clever.
