A fatal shooting earlier this month in Wilkes-Barre has been ruled justified. Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce issued a statement saying a security official at Aqua Lounge in South Main Plaza was justified — and perhaps saved lives — in using deadly force when he fatally shot an armed patron in the parking lot on South Main Street on April 9. Based on the investigation by city police detectives and the coroner’s office, Sanguedolce said the conclusion was the shooting was justified. Names of the victim and security official who fired the fatal shot were not released.
