Authorities made the announcement Monday after investigating the shooting and after talking with the Monroe County district attorney's office. Twenty-year-old Andrew Joseph Todd was shot and killed Saturday night in the East Stroudsburg store after police say he refused officers' orders to drop a weapon.
