Prosecutors are not pursuing a gunman, who shot and killed a man who was attacking a young boyscout.

Carmen Reyes Jr., 58, was initially booked for murder after shooting and killing Sergio Wilms, who allegedly attacked the young boy and his mother as they were packing their family’s van for a camping trip around 5 a.m. on Saturday, according to police.

Reyes, who lives with the family and is the caretaker of the boy’s father, reportedly ran outside after hearing the boy scream, at which point a violent altercation ensued.

Good job. One less animal.

Not so fast. It's not all sunshine here. Did the boy miss his camping trip? Did you think of that? I bet he did, and he must be devastated./s
