MN: Self defense shooting trial built on gun control bumper sticker

http://www.startribune.com/rochester-mu ... 470306113/

Its hard to find all the facts in this self defense murder trial in one news article. There was a mistrial from a hung jury recently, so the self defense shooter has a chance of getting off.

In Minnesota you have a duty to retreat. The DA apparently decided to pursue murder charges when he saw the bumper sticker on the shooters car that said "Gun Control is hitting your target". The self defense shooter has a CHL.

This also has religious overtones as the dead man is Muslim the shooter is Christian.

Our self defense shooter was on his way to officiate at a sporting event, when the self defense shooter stopped to see if everyone was ok after witnessing a car accident. The driver of the car in the accident then put the car in reverse and backed into the referee's car. The driver was apparently high on drugs. He and another man said they were going to to "jump" the referee and get his gun. He said he shot in self defense, but did not retreat. He called 911 and waited for the police to arrive.
