The Pima County Attorney's Office has deemed the March 3 fatal shooting of a 21-year-old-man by a near North Side resident as justifiable.

Killed was Charles Alvin Eisner, police said. Sgt. Decio Hopffer, a police spokesman, refused to identify the man who shot Eisner, because the shooter has not been charged with a crime.

Eisner was shot before dawn after the occupant of a home near East Fort Lowell Road and North First Avenue heard noises in his carport, went to investigate and spotted a stranger, said Rick Unklesbay, chief trial counsel for the County Attorney's Office.

Unklesbay said the resident went back into the house to put on clothing and when he turned around he found the intruder in his home, and shot him.

A review of the police investigation led to a determination the shooting was justifiable, Unklesbay said.

I really wish you all would know what you were talking about before you started saying terrible things. charlie a.k.a. "the intruder" was my boyfriend and he was the sweetest guy that i had ever met. If you look around at other sites you would see that this is not even a confirmed true story. If charlie was in this guys house it was for a reason. Charlie had a lot of friends and if he was going to go rob someone he wouldn't do it alone. Charlie was a hard worker at everything that he did. He was loved by everyone. He had so much passion for everything that he did. All that he cared about was fixing cars, helping people out and working. He had more then everything that he needed. Charlie didn't need to rob anyone. SO please. think before you speak. To you this was just some punk kid that got what he deserved, but to others....many many others, this was a 21 man whoes life was just barley getting started when it came to a brutal and unjust end.

Way to go! We need more people who will stand up for themselves instead of becoming a statistic. He could have been killed himself had he not chose to defend himself.

Wait until Warden, the Notorious Mexican Flag Burner, is forced to "cap" some MechAsshole in righteous self defense. Then you will see a vigorous prosecution for murder.
