South Carolina boater, 74, will NOT be charged for shooting dead jet skier, 29, who assaulted him and his wife after they rescued him following accident on the water
2022-03-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Nathan Drew Morgan, 29, was shot dead on Lake Keowee last Tuesday

  • The 74-year-old man who shot him has not been named and won't face charges

  • Police say Morgan was in the water in 'distress' with a woman after falling off a jet ski when the older man and his wife found them

  • The older couple pulled them to safety on their pontoon boat, but Morgan then became belligerent

  • Morgan 'threatened' the older man and the women on board so the older man shot him

  • He bled out on the boat and died before they returned to shore

  • Morgan was a father-of-one; his family has not yet reacted to the sheriff's decision
The elderly boater and his wife helped them on board their pontoon, but Morgan became belligerent and threatening.

Exactly what happened next is unclear but police say Morgan assaulted both the older man and woman on the boat.

The younger woman pushed Morgan back into the water. The elderly couple then helped him back on board again in a second show of mercy, but then felt suddenly threatened again.
