A Fort Collins woman who fatally stabbed an ex-boyfriend in the neck with a broken beer bottle will not face criminal charges.

Prosecutors have determined that the woman had been physically assaulted and was defending herself when the incident happened, according to a Larimer County district attorney’s office media release.

Shaun Cassidy, 23, of Montrose died Oct. 9 from injuries suffered a week earlier.

The incident happened in the woman’s Fort Collins home, and Colorado’s “Make My Day” laws apply in the case, prosecutors said.
