No charges in Wright County shooting death
BUFFALO, Minn. (AP) - The Wright County prosecutor said no charges will be filed against a Rockford man who shot and killed an armed intruder last month.
"In this matter, you have a justifiable use of deadly force," County Attorney Thomas Kelly said Wednesday. "As tragic as it is, that's how it comes down."
Eric Cegon, 30, shot Erik Richter, 35, of Watertown, after Richter broke into the apartment Cegon shared with Richter's ex-girlfriend in Rockford. Samantha Simons' and Richter's toddler son was home at the time.
It was the second time Richter had violated a court order not to contact either of them.
The county attorney said Richter was armed with a loaded semi-automatic handgun when he broke into the apartment. He also had handcuffs and leg irons with him. "Let's just say that I don't think anything good was going to come out of his visit," Kelly said.

Way to go my friend
Been quite a few of these the past year in Minnesota which have had the opposite ending. I feel sorry for the kid when he learns how and why his dad died though.
