Prosecutors said the 22-year-old licensed pistol holder acted in self-defense after a crash and confrontation that left three people dead.
- The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office announced Wednesday it will not file charges against a 22-year-old who fatally shot three people at a Detroit gas station, citing insufficient evidence to disprove lawful self-defense.
