FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Prosecutors have dropped a weapons charge man who was shot by police back in July.

When 19-year-old Noah Busche was shot in the hip, Fort Wayne police say the officer who shot him thought he had a gun… but no weapon was ever found.

The confrontation started when officers were called to Gateway Plaza on reports of a suspicious man with a gun sticking out of his pants.
