Prosecutors on Wednesday declined to file charges against a
Northland man involved in a fatal shooting.

Gouge was shot Nov. 5 outside a house in the 6400 block of North
Brighton Avenue.
Police said Gouge was shot by a male resident who said Gouge had
trespassed.
When asked to leave, Gouge made threats and left, police said.
Police said he later returned with a gun and pointed it at the resident
while making additional threats.
