It would seem that the two approaching the vehicle were in the commission of a crime. Here in Ohio, if you do that and your accomplice is killed, you can be charged.

A very poorly written article from the lame msm, very unclear as to what happened.

Seems to me though that it is a clear cut case of self defense, but the msm doesn’t want it to appear that way.

That's the felony murder provision IIRC. A death of any party during the commission of a felony results in a murder charge. I seem to recall a perp being charged under that law (don't remember where) when a patron had a heart attack during a bank holdup.

Actually I think it is written in favor of the shooter. It refers to his ‘legally permitted’ handgun. How often do you see the MSM use that phrase. Apparently now for minorities a new “get out of jail free” card is to allege racial slurs.
