Killing in Self Defense

The problem with this story? That it starts off stating that Autry won't be charged in the girl's death. They only get to what happend at the end of the story. Four people, with a shotgun and pistol, tried robbing the ex-Marine. He fended them off armed with only a pocketknife, killing one and critically wounding the other.

The first paragraph should state that he's being awarded a medal, or the keys to the city.
