Lake Keowee: Police refuse to charge South Carolina man over boat shooting
Officials in the US state of South Carolina say they will not pursue charges against a boater who rescued a drowning man, before shooting him dead, BBC reports.
Nathan Drew Morgan, 29, was shot by an unnamed 74-year old man last Tuesday after being pulled from Lake Keowee.
An autopsy report ruled Morgan had died from a single gunshot to the chest aboard the man's pontoon boat.
But Oconee County Sheriff's department said prosecutors had determined the shooting took place in self-defence.
