Prosecutors have rejected Chicago police efforts to file felony charges in a fatal shooting in Little Village earlier this month, concluding the shooter acted in self-defense.

An off-duty Cook County sheriff’s deputy was fatally shot during a robbery attempt at a Woodlawn service station on Tuesday morning, officials said.

A 30-year-old parolee who asked a 14-year-old boy for his gang affiliation shot the teen in the chest before he had a chance to answer, prosecutors said as they charged the man with attempted first-degree murder.
