Grand jury decides not to indict volunteer who shot church shooter dead with some of the best under stress marksmanship we have seen.

DA said they made the right decision.

I’m sort of surprised that this was sent to a grand jury. Is it required?

Legally this invokes Double Jeopardy.
It's a good thing, but costly.

How could it? He hasn't been tried and found not guilty.

IMO, grand juries are a way for a DA to side step accusations for not filing charges at all. This was obviously a justified killing, but send it to a grand jury to avoid the appearance of favoritism.

I read that Wilson said it was about 10 yds, but it looked more like 12 to 15 yds. The angle of the camera makes it hard to estimate.

Chas.

I think you may be correct. That pew arrangement is the same as in our church. The lengths might be different, but I would guess that his distance might be closer to 15 yards or even another yard or two.

Says “security guard” murdered. “A dear friend”.

Also says murderer was one of the dead.

Maybe it has been amended, but I think this is what you saw. It sounds a little different now.

An elder at the church told the New York Times that one of those killed was a security guard who responded to the shooter, calling him a dear friend.

It sounds to me like the security guard was a dear friend of the elder. Is that what you meant?
