Madelia homeowner charged in home invasion shooti
A southern Minnesota homeowner was charged Monday in a home invasion incident that left one man dead and another wounded.
David A. Petterson, who lives southeast of Madelia, was charged in Watonwan County District Court with second-degree manslaughter and intentional discharge of firearm in connection with the death of Nicholas T. Embertson, 19, of Madelia.
The incident unfolded about 7 a.m. Saturday at Petterson's residence in Fieldon Township, according to the Watonwan County Sheriff's Office.

While the law allows for the "justified taking of a life if your life or your family's life is in danger," Nachreiner said Monday, "what we gathered from evidence and statements was that [manslaughter] was the appropriate crime."
Wonder what the story is here? A 65 yo homeowner shoots two teenagers in what is being called a home invasion and this is a crime?
