00:00...an update on a deadly fight over a parking spot at a Florida Walmart.
00:04Prosecutors say the woman who shot and killed a veteran during the dispute will not face charges.
00:09So Liz, this is all coming down to Florida's stand your ground law?
00:14Yeah, that's right, Ryan.
00:16So prosecutors essentially said that ultimately they made their decision
00:20that they're not going to press charges against that woman based on looking at the video
00:24and that that was key here because they say it shows the man who was killed.
00:29This is 62-year-old veteran Bart DiGoogley-Elmo.
00:32In their words, they say it shows him continuing to aggressively approach the woman, Melissa Payne.
00:38She is there. On one hand, it appears she's holding a cell phone.
00:40On the other hand, it appears she is holding a gun.
00:43But they also say that specifically they're not pressing charges because of the state's stand your ground law.
00:50And they said in a statement, the video does not demonstrate that Melissa Payne was in the right.
00:55Rather, it demonstrates that the state of Florida cannot overcome her claim that she was in reasonable fear of great
01:01bodily harm.
01:02It went on to say that Payne did not have to wait to be attacked before resorting to deadly force
01:08because of this stand your ground law.
01:11And she did, according to police, tell authorities when they arrived at the scene,
01:14she stayed there and she told them that she was acting in self-defense.
01:18And she was acting in self-defense, she was acting in self-defense, she was acting in self-defense.
