This one is going to be good and ties into what has been discussed on this forum numerous times.
In Miami yesterday a legal gun-carrier shot and wounded a lone unarmed man who apparently began a physical confrontation with him. Several things to consider:
1. The shooter was with his family including small children.
2. The alleged agressor apparently "made contact" with the children. That's what was said in the news report. No specifics given on that.
3. The shooter is an adult male in his early 30s (as was the "shootee").
And now for the most interesting part.....
4. The shooter is a retired deputy who was shot in the head while on duty 4+ years ago and had a long road to recovery.
Personally I don't think he'll be charged with anything, mostly because of #4 and a sympathetic police force/DA's office who'll probably give him the benefit of the doubt. Of course the words "disabled" or "post traumatic stress" could be tossed around (by a defense lawyer) with regards to the injuries he suffered if LE did start to go deeper with their investigation.
Other than #4, #2 is the most interesting aspect of this incident. Did he threaten his kids?? Was there physical contact with the kids and was it intentional or a result of the struggle between the 2 adults? I'll follow this one with great interest.
