TULSA, Okla. (AP) – Authorities say they will not bring charges against a former Walgreens clerk in Oklahoma who shot and killed a customer during a confrontation over photographs.

Tulsa police Sgt. Brandon Watkins told the Tulsa World that the former clerk’s actions were “pretty justifiable” in the shooting of 52-year-old William Adolf Hurley.

A Walgreens spokesman says the clerk is no longer employed by the company but declined to elaborate.
