I hope they do not file charges at all if the boy hadn’t been doing what he was doing he wouldn’t have gotten shot.
CWP’s rule!!!!! That man may have saved many lives including his own. And no charges have been filed “SO FAR”? I guess the bad guy should have shot one of the victims first so it could have been a clear case of self defense.
