A prosecutor in southern Wisconsin says he doesn't expect to file charges against a homeowner who killed an intruder.
Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley says the police investigation shows that the homeowner defended himself against attack in his own home which had been illegally entered.
"So, under those circumstances, it doesn’t appear to me that there’s any reason why there would be a criminal charge," Graveley told the Kenosha News.
