BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A special jury that convened for an inquest into the May shooting death of a Montana teenager at the hands of his friend has found the shooter committed justifiable homicide.
Seth Culver, 17, shot and killed 15-year-old MacKeon “Mackey” Schulte when the younger boy knocked on his bedroom window in the middle of the night.
The jury ruled Wednesday that Culver was justified in shooting the victim, who he thought was an intruder, and ruled the act was not criminal, The Billings Gazette reported (http://bit.ly/1OSi7zw ).
A teenage boy who was with Schulte testified that they went to Culver’s house at 2:30 a.
