    My bet is there will be an official statement tomorrow claiming they shot in self defense, and the victim was charging at them with a weapon.

        It does seem, from what I’ve heard, that he did have a gun. However, this is supposed to be legal. If the state can murder you just for possessing a firearm, you don’t have a right to a firearm. Best case for them, this is still a violation of their second amendment rights. You don’t get to just claim you’re scared because they own a gun and kill them. That doesn’t negate their right to possess it.
