No charges will be pressed against a Harry S. Truman High School teacher who shot an alleged bank robber who was fleeing the scene of the crime in July, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced on Monday. George Forgeng, also a Hatboro councilman, was cleared of all charges after shooting Kevin Philip Johnson Way after robbing the TD Bank on York Road, the DA said.

The investigation included multiple interviews with eyewitnesses, along with detailed statements from Forgeng and Way, according to the DA. The incident occurred while Forgeng was walking along Lehman Avenue on the morning of July 8.

A dye pack exploded on the sidewalk near a man who was walking toward him. To Forgeng, this could mean only one thing: he had just robbed a bank.

As a councilman, Forgeng was likely familiar with the York Road TD Bank, which has been robbed multiple times over the past few months.

So he leapt into action.
