FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A prosecutor says a 23-year-old man won’t be charged in a fatal shooting in Casselton. Cass County State\u2019s Attorney Birch Burdick says the man who was arrested in Friday’s shooting felt threatened by the other man and was acting in self-defense. Cass County sheriff\u2019s deputies responded to the shooting Friday about 9:30 p.m. in Casselton. Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner says the 23-year-old man was in fear of his life when 50-year-old Duane Turchin got out of his car, argued with the man and choked him. The younger man then shot Turchin. He called 911 and placed his gun in a safe. KVRR-TV reports the two men knew each and lived only a few houses away from each other.<\/p>\n
