A Platte County woman will not face charges for fatally shooting Joshua Hinderliter, who exhibited erratic behavior on her property on September 18. After attempting to ride a pony and damaging a gate, Hinderliter approached her home despite warnings. Fearing for her safety and that of her child, the woman retrieved a gun and shot him as he advanced. Prosecutors deemed her actions a justified use of force, as Hinderliter posed a threat.
