North Carolina Man Indicted in Fatal Shooting From Garage

Source: Associated Press

A grand jury has indicted a North Carolina man accused of fatally shooting a young black man leaving a neighbor's house party.

Local media outlets report that Chad Copley was indicted Monday on murder charges in the Aug. 7 death of 20-year-old Kouren-Rodney Thomas.

According to authorities and 911 tapes, 39-year-old Copley fired a shotgun from inside his garage after calling police to complain of "hoodlums" in his neighborhood. Thomas' mother says he was struck while walking with a friend to their car.
