So now, if you are in a defensive shooting that is obviously a clean shoot, it no longer goes in front of the grand jury. I forget the wording on this but basically since 07 a home owner that shoots someone in defense is supposed to be looked at as a victim by investigators and unless there's questionable evidence, there's no grand jury. Before then, they all went to the grand jury to determine the situation.
Now, it still can go if something is questionable like the guy on the phone with 911 that shot those 2 guys robbing his neighbors house. That went to the grand jury though they quickly no billed it.
I'll see if I can find the section that addresses the grand jury and investigation and post it here.

Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe
