BIRMINGHAM, Ala. AP – Alabama authorities did not file charges against a homeowner who said Tuesday he shot and killed a man who was siphoning gasoline from his truck in the middle of the night, only to discover the victim was a cousin.

Robert Lee Warren of Hatchechubee said the man identified by the coroner as Henry J. Moses, 40, made a threatening move toward him after being confronted, so he pulled the trigger in self-defense.
