"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....
"While the woman was on the phone with police, Donofrio broke a glass window on the front door "and reached inside to manipulate the doorknob," at which point the male resident fired the shot through the broken window that struck Donofrio in his upper body, according to police."
I have seen this before. Some years back, there was a similar incident in Ukiah, California, where a drunk walked six miles north to his home. Unfortunately, he needed to walk six miles south. The house into which he forced entry was not his. The resident shot him with a hunting rifle. He lost his arm.
Tragic, but I would be surprised if this kid at University of South Carolina was sober.
