ADA, Okla. — It was a case that stunned residents in a small Oklahoma city earlier this year – a resident told police he shot and killed his neighbor to keep the man from drowning two young children.

On Thursday, a little more than a month after the shooting, officials announced that the case is closed – the Pontotoc County District Attorney ruled the shooting was a ‘justifiable use of deadly force under Oklahoma Law.’

The guy who shot the would-be baby killer was defending the kids from their violent excuse for a father.

He shouldn't have had to spend over a month worrying whether or not he would be charged for saving the lives of two infants.
