A good Samaritan who shot and killed a drowning man he was attempting to
save in South Carolina won�t face criminal charges in the bizarre case,
authorities said.

Prosecutors said the unidentified gunman acted in self-defense when he
fatally shot 29-year-old Nathan Drew Morgan, who was drowning Tuesday in
Lake Keowee, WBTW-TV reported.

Police said Morgan and his pal tumbled off their jet ski without life
jackets � and that the rescuer tried to help the pair by steering a
pontoon boat to them.

But Morgan became combative after being pulled to safety, forcing the
eventual gunman to push him back into the water. The man then opened fire
when Morgan climbed back on board.

Morgan was fatally shot in the chest, the Oconee County Coroner�s Office
ruled.

�Certainly have never seen anything like that or heard anything like
that,� area resident Brandon Thomas told WSPA-TV following the incident.

�That�s very surprising, especially the area it was in,� he added. �That�s
crazy. Definitely unexpected out here, for sure.�
