RALEIGH — The Wake County District Attorney said a shooting involving the cousin of a Raleigh baseball star was in self-defense.
That means that there will be no charges pressed against the parents of 29-year-old Benjamin Hamilton. Warrants show the shooting happened after Benjamin Hamilton backed his parents into their bedroom inside their Wake County home. Linwood Hamilton told sheriff's deputies he had no choice and shot his son with a shotgun. The warrants also showed statements of previous violence by Benjamin Hamilton against his ex-girlfriend. Warrants say he broke into his parent's house in May, damaged their property, and made threats.
Benjamin Hamilton was a cousin of Major League Baseball Star and Raleigh native, Josh Hamilton.
