Yea the 17 year-old kid shouldn’t have been there with a firearm in the first place. Kid was asking for trouble and this all could’ve been avoided if he hadn’t put himself in that situation. With that said, after seeing the videos, I’ve changed my stance. First guy he shot in the head He was running away from. The guy chasing him had just thrown a Molotov tail at him, and then continue to pursue and run up on him to attack him. That’s when he got shot in the head. Same guy was caught on camera earlier in the night repeatedly saying, “Shoot me n*gga!” Basically antagonizing the kid. Well, he got shot.
The shooter, after putting one in the guy’s dome, immediately called the cops to report what had happened as he fled the scene. He was then chased by other protestors/rioters. Kid with the rifle falls down while running away and is immediately attacked by 2 or 3 guys, one with a pistol in hand, and one with a skateboard. That’s when he started firing. He shot the skateboarder in the chest and the guy with a pistol in the arm. Shooter has a strong case for self-defense here.
Like I said, he shouldn’t have been there in the first place and from what I read it was illegal possession of a firearm since she was only 17, but he was retreating and then attacked both times he fired his weapon. Good chance he gets off of the First Degree Murder charge. He’ll definitely be charged for other stuff though. Should be an interesting case. Sad situation all around and could’ve easily been avoided.
