No Charges In IL Fatal Shooting Following Break-In



State prosecutors say they will not bring homicide charges against a 61-year-old Harvey, Illinois man who shot and killed his 21-year-old stepson.



Harvey police say the older man shot John Shedrich on Friday afternoon as Shedrich attempted to force his way into the home he had formerly shared.



They say Shedrich had thrown bricks through a window and kicked down the front door to get in.



Police said the stepfather, whom they declined to identify, fired only in self-defense.
