A Tacoma (Wash.) Police officer won't face charges for fatally shooting a teenager who tried to back into him with a stolen car.
Officer Brett Beall acted within the law when he fired into a car driven by Austin Joseph Welling on Nov. 27. Welling, 18, was hit four times and died of his wounds Jan. 31, reports the News Tribune.
The incident followed a pursuit after which Officer Beall had identified a stolen car. The officer approached the car in an alley on foot, when Welling threw the car in reverse toward the officer.

You will be judged one day by your maker.---- censor me, im sure you will--
