East Lake killing ruled justifiable
The shooting of a Birmingham man in East Lake earlier this week has been ruled justifiable, authorities said Thursday.
No charges will be filed in the Tuesday night slaying of 29-year-old Willie Morrow, who was found dead in front of an apartment. Morrow's death was the 77th homicide in the city this year.
Birmingham homicide Sgt. Cory Hardiman said prosecutors declined to issue a warrant against a man taken into custody shortly after the 10:30 p.m. shooting, saying he fired in self-defense.
Police didn't release the man's name since he won't face charges.
