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.”

            And it’s not my fault that you can’t follow the thread of more than one comment.

              I love how everyone downvoted you yet you think I’m the one who messed up

              Here’s the quote again, taken directly from the article. Try reading slower if you’re having trouble 👍

              While the woman was on the phone with police, Donofrio broke a glass window on the front door

              Which means… drumroll please… there’s a window in the door. I’m really glad I could hold your hand through this experience. Tomorrow we’ll work on tying your shoelaces because you’re a big boy now 😉

                  I’m so sorry, I should have written that in a language you’d understand. Let me try again:

                  Oook ook ook eek eek eek. Ooo ooo ah ah. Eeek eeek. Ooo ooo, aha aha, hoo hoo. Ooo ooo ooo!
