Police say that an Augusta teen who had been sought for questioning in a shooting Saturday acted in self-defense.

Hampton, who cooperated with investigators, was found to have acted in self-defense, and no criminal charges will be filed.

Perhaps not common, but occasionally necessary.

I would need more details to formulate any opinion.
