A Kansas man was released from jail Thursday after officials asserted he acted in self-defense when he allegedly opened fire after gunmen began shooting at a local nightclub Sunday.

Brandon Young acted in self-defense after at least two gunmen opened fire at the City Nightz nightclub, according to Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett.

"Based on the current status of the investigation, Mr. Young was not charged this morning," a Thursday statement from the district attorney's office read.

"The decision does not constitute a dispositive ruling. Additional investigation and forensic analysis will continue. Mr. Young will be released from custody after processing out of the adult detention facility later this afternoon."

Following the shooting, which wounded nine people and caused the trampling of two others, Young was taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated battery, according to the statement.

"Given the legitimate public concern in this matter, a brief explanation as to the analysis regarding the evidence presented against Mr. Young this morning is appropriate," the statement read. "Video surveillance from inside the club was analyzed over the past several days. Based upon this detailed analysis, Mr. Young appears to have fired a weapon in response to shots fired by two different gunmen within the bar. Based upon the current status of the evidence, Mr. Young appears to have acted in self-defense/defense of a third party.

"The matter remains under investigation. Additional suspects are currently being sought by law enforcement."
