[Keith B]

This happened in a small town not far from my home town. They prosecutor has determined there will be no charges and the homeowner was within his rights to protect his life and property under the Castle Doctrine for Missouri. And don't let age fool you into thinking he was just a kid; take a look at the his previous charge of attacking his father.

KENNETT, Mo. -- A 17-year-old male was fatally shot while allegedly breaking into a Kennett home, and Dunklin County prosecuting attorneys are investigating to determine what charges, if any, will be filed.
