A shooting death at Donald and Webster Streets in South Bend in April has been ruled a justifiable homicide.
The St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office says the death of David Austin was justified, as several witnesses said Austin approached the shooter, a 72 year-old man, in an aggressive manner and had punched the man.
State law dictates that self-defense has to be disproven, and it could not in this case. The shooter himself called 9-1-1 after the incident.
The investigation into the shooting has been closed.
