No charges filed against USC student arrested in death of homeless man

The USC student arrested in the stabbing death of a homeless man has learned his fate so far. The story suggests he confronted a homeless man breaking into a car. At some point there was a physical interaction and the homeless man suggested he had a gun. That's what turned into the USC student stabbing the homeless man, presumably in self-defense over the fear of being shot, and now the law has made a ruling on what's next. According to Fox 11, the USC student will NOT be charged with a crime:

Ivan Gallegos, the University of Southern California student accused of stabbing a homeless man to death, appeared in court Thursday. During his arraignment, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to file any charges against him. 

"After careful consideration and a thorough review of all available evidence, we have decided not to pursue charges against USC student Ivan Gallegos. We believe that Mr. Gallegos’s actions were driven by a genuine fear for his life and the lives of others. Our heart goes out to the deceased’s family, friends and everyone impacted by this tragic incident," LA County DA George Gascón said in a statement.
