A grand jury has cleared a 33-year-old Southeast Portland woman of any criminal wrongdoing for fatally shooting a stranger that she discovered in her 10-year-old daughter's bedroom. Police said Ford shot McCrary when she had come home with her children, ages 5 and 10, and encountered the stranger in her home. Oregon law says a person is justified in using "deadly physical force upon another person" if the other person is burglarizing or trying to burglarize a home.
