Was a minor traffic accident. Shooter was in a company vehicle and wanted to call the police so that a police report could be filed. The guy that got shot didn't like that and started pounding on him through his car window. The shooter responded with a bullet (.357 if I remember correctly) to his attackers chest. The DA did take the case and he was no-billed by the grand jury. Two things helped the shooter win that. 1 being that he shot center mass, and 2 the first thing he did after shooting was step out of his vehicle and yell for witnesses to call an ambulance and applied pressure to the mans wound.C-dub wrote:I think this is kind of how the first CHL shooting happened here in Texas. A small guy in a car had done something to upset a very large man in another car and the large guy got out and preceded to beat on the little guy, who ended up shooting and killing the larger guy. I think the little guy was no billed due to the disparity of size and capability of the larger guy to smash the little guy that thought he was going be killed by the larger guy.stroo wrote:Shooter was in his car. Adkins swung his fists at him a couple of times. Hard to see how he could have been in danger of his life, but who knows what the real facts are.
Have to wait to see how the facts develop.
The Grand Jury determined that the shooter demonstrated that he was in fact not trying to kill his attacker but only to stop him. The shooter suffered partial loss of vision in his left eye I believe which given the severity of that, proved that he was in fear for his life. I believe that DA's across the state have lightened up a bit and it is no longer required that one get the snot beat out of themselves before shooting. Not that it ever was.
