DA’s office clears vehicle owner in Kroger gas station shooting – it’s ruled justified
By Daniel Connolly
Local prosecutors have cleared a vehicle owner who fired shots during what authorities have described as an attempted carjacking at a Kroger gas station this week. Police have said the man shot and wounded one of the people trying to steal the vehicle and killed a second, a 16-year-old.An arrest affidavit filed in the case says the vehicle owner, Terry Thompson, told police that an assailant pointed a gun at him during the incident and that he opened fire in return. An attorney for Thompson described it as a matter of self-defense.
“It’s been reviewed and ruled justified,” Larry Buser, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, said in an email Thursday afternoon.
Sixteen-year-old Cameron Pryor was killed, police have said.
Willie Murry, 18, was shot in the foot, received medical treatment, and now faces charges of carjacking and other counts.
