TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The shooting death of an Arizona pastor last fall in Topeka has been ruled self defense.
Donald Woolridge, 81, was killed Oct. 24, 2022 at a home in the 3300 block of SE Fremont.
Family members told 13 NEWS he came to Topeka frequently to assist a family member.
Shawnee Co. District Attorney Mike Kagay said Tuesday that he reviewed facts of the investigation, and determined “self-defense immunity precludes prosecution of that matter.”
Kagay said he notified the family that no criminal charges would be filed.
