Self defense cited in Chicago shooting death
A 68 year old plumber who says he fatally shot a teenager after the youth put a gun in his ear will not be charged. Harold Brown said two masked youths attacked him near a grocery store. Police identified the victim as Derrick Wallace, 18, who died Friday. The state attorney’s office said Brown acted in self defense and that the stolen weapon prevented charging him with unlawful use of a weapon. K C Cathey, 18, was charged with attempted armed robbery. Brown expressed regret but said he had no choice and waited to speak publicly to avoid retaliation.
