A Missouri woman who shot and killed an off-duty firefighter in Kansas City earlier this month will not be criminally charged because of the state’s self-defense and defense of others law, prosecutors announced.
In an Oct. 24 press release, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office said they won’t pursue a second-degree murder charge against the woman, who has not been identified, because she acted in accordance with Missouri’s “stand your ground” law when she shot and killed 41-year-old Anthony “Tony” Santi.
