No charges for son of retired Marine who fatally shot him in FishHawk home

The son of a retired U.S. Marine lieutenant colonel will not face criminal charges in the father’s shooting death at the family’s Lithia home last year.

A review by the Hillsborough State Attorney’s Office released Tuesday found that evidence supported the account 23-year-old Brody Missler gave to investigators after shooting his father Timothy two days before Thanksgiving. Brody Missler said he feared for his safety because his father reached for a gun during an argument at their home in FishHawk Ranch.
