An off-duty officer for the state Conservation Police will not face charges after fatally shooting a man in his Decatur home last weekend.
Authorities say the officer acted properly in self-defense when he was confronted in his home by a domestic violence suspect.
The incident happened when a battered woman knocked on the officer’s door seeking help. The officer let her in but the man followed, and was shot when he continued advancing, even after the armed officer ordered him to stop.
