Some people need to study the phrase, "It's over!" District Attorney clears homeowner in deadly Leland shooting | Port City Daily
The District Attorney’s Office has concluded its investigation into the Jan. 2 shooting death of Dylan Hennessey on Dixie Drive in Leland, determining the homeowner acted in lawful self-defense and will not face criminal charges.
The DA's office operated at Warp Speed on this case, but then the facts seem fairly clear. Or how would you deal with an "univited guest" in your home at 3:30 in the morning?
Leland, North Carolina is about 5 miles west of Wilmington, or about 135 mile drive south of Raleigh.
Investigators said Hennessey and Dustin Powers arrived at the residence roughly eight minutes before the shooting. The DA’s office said Hennessey was in an on-again, off-again relationship with a woman who was at the home, and that Hennessey drove to the location with Powers to confront them.
In the assualt on the homeowner that followed, Dustin Powers was injured, and Dylan Hennessey was killed. The homeowner was also injured.
There were domestic violence charges against Hennessey involving this woman in a different county at the time this incident took place.
The DA quotes chapter and verse on North Carolina self-defense law if you are interested.
Self-defense is a human right, and it is apparently your legal right in North Carolina.
