We want this to go with justice and go peacefully,” he continued
Jake Gardner, a bar-owner, has been identified as the person who killed James Scurlock and Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine announced on Monday night that he will face no charges.
According to KETV, Kleine showed a video as a way to justify Gardner’s actions:
“Kleine walked the audience through the footage, showing footage that he said shows the father of the bar owner, Jake Gardner pushing young people in the area, then being shoved.
Kleine said the video shows a group of people surrounding Gardner, tackling him and Gardner firing two warning shots.
Kleine said Scurlock jumps on Gardner and and [sic] the bar owner fires another shot, fatally wounding Scurlock.
