SLINGER, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors have decided not to charge a Slinger homeowner who fatally shot a 20-year-old West Bend man who tried hiding from police inside the homeowner's enclosed porch.

The Washington County District Attorney's Office said Wednesday the unidentified homeowner acted lawfully and in self-defense when he encountered Bo Morrison in the darkened room and killed him with a single gunshot.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Morrison was among a group of people who fled from an underage drinking party next door. Morrison was hiding inside the porch when he was shot early on March 3.

According to the district attorney's office, Morrison's blood-alcohol level was 0.19 percent — more than twice the legal limit for motorists in Wisconsin — when he entered the porch through two exterior doors.
