Michael Rulli said in statements and an interview he shot at the ground, not at Hayden Cibula, who he accused of trespassing.
And the special prosecutor also concluded that Kelly Rulli shot at the ground and not at the family.
But in interviews, both Hayden and Ashley Cibula remain adamant that the two Rullis fired at them, on both occasions.
Hayden Cibula said he heard yelling he couldn’t make out from a distance around 5:15 a.m. before Rulli fired.
“There is simply no credible evidence present at the time of this review that either member of the Rulli family ‘shot at’ anyone,” he wrote.
Ashley Cibula, when contacted by a reporter, emphasized she has nothing to gain from a feud with local political power.
“We’re just normal citizens who were shot at by someone who thinks they’re above the law,” she said. »
