Man who fatally shot South Carolina college student entering wrong home was justified, police say

The resident who fatally shot a University of South Carolina student who tried to enter the wrong home on his off-campus street last weekend was justified in his actions, police said Wednesday. Nicholas Anthony Donofrio, 20, died early Saturday after knocking, banging, and kicking on the front door of the man who shot him when he broke the glass window and tried to manipulate the doorknob, the Columbia Police Department said. A police news release added that the investigation determined the shooter — who legally owned the firearm — was covered by South Carolina's so-called “Stand Your Ground” law and no charges will be filed.
