No Charges for Fatal Shooting of South Carolina College Student in Wrong House

No charges will be filed in the shooting death of Nicholas Anthony Donofrio, a University of South Carolina student who mistakenly tried to enter the wrong home on his own street. The shooting has been deemed a justifiable homicide based on evidence gathered at the scene, surveillance video, audio evidence, and witness statements. The homeowner, who was not prohibited from possessing a firearm, fired a single shot through a broken window after Donofrio broke the front door glass window and reached inside to manipulate the doorknob. The incident highlights the tragic consequences of mistaken home entries, similar to recent cases in Missouri and upstate New York.
