Posted: Updated:
COLBERT COUNTY, AL (WAFF) -

A Colbert County man who said he shot a man in self defense will not be indicted.

A grand jury found there's not enough evidence to indict 70-year-old Talton "Buddy" Zills. He was accused of shooting and wounding 29-year-old Charles Miller in January in the parking lot of Buddy's Jewelry.

Investigators said Zills shot Miller during an argument over a recent transaction. Zills claimed he shot Miller in self-defense.
