District Attorney: Ex-NFL player shot by homeowner justified (The Associated Press)

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Officials say the shooting of a former Detroit Lions cornerback at a multimillion-dollar home in Portland, Oregon, was justified.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports (http://goo.gl/wXGEi0) the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office said Wednesday a grand jury found homeowner Robert McCall's use of force was justified.

Oregon law allows a person to use deadly physical force against someone trying to burglarize their home.

Authorities say Stanley Wilson II was found naked and wounded in a water fountain in a backyard June 22. The homeowner had shot him in the abdomen.

Wilson has been arraigned on burglary and trespassing charges and says he's happy to be alive.
