Donations are pouring for a scholarship fundraiser in honour of University of Carolina student Nick Donofrio as authorities have said his killer will not face charges as he acted under the state’s “stand your ground” law.
The City of Columbia Police Department said in a press release on Wednesday that Donofrio’s shooter was “justified” in opening fire on the 20-year-old student in the early morning hours of 26 August. Donofrio had mistakenly attempted to enter the shooter’s home, which is located on the same block where the student lived.
