As reported on Broad & Cecil earlier, Gerald Ung, a former Temple student, stood trial today for shooting Edward DiDonato on Jan. 17, 2010. Ung was found not guilty by a Philadelphia jury, Philly.com reports.

The former law student plead self-defense in his reasoning for shooting DiDonato, a Villanova graduate, six times in Old City last year.

According to the Daily News article, Ung, 29, was originally charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and possession of an instrument of crime.

Ung, the article reads, “contended that he shot DiDonato in self-defense after being followed, threatened and lunged at by DiDonato and three of his friends.”

Ung had a permit from Fairfax County, Va., to legally carry the gun.

A Facebook group, “Gerald Ung is innocent,” was created last January after the shooting; discussion topics have continued to generate posts.
