Looks like another case of journalistic malpractice. The victim was the one who was attacked, folled outside and into his car as he tried to retreat, and ultimately had to use deadly force to defend himself. The person shot was the aggressor, it seems.

Wow, they like the word ‘shooter’ a lot.

He was even labeled a ‘shooter’ when he was just changing the locks...

‘Strewth!

It’s a sobering thought that in America every physical confrontation has the potential to escalate into somebody getting shot.

Do you Yanks find that it makes you a bit more careful about getting into fisticuffs? It would certainly make me think twice. Or three times.

"The shooter performed CPR on Herman until emergency workers arrived.."

Very good move. It will definitely look good to a jury if it should happen to go to trial.

I was visiting a friend in Dyersville on Saturday and saw all the commotion outside these apartments on my way home. There were too many law enforcement and media vehicles for the type of minor weirdness that has come and gone in these same apartments over the years, so I knew something pretty serious had happened.

Anyone other than an LEO or member of a PC-protected victim group is likely to be rolling the ball uphill in Dubuque County; the maintenance guy had better be lawyered up pretty good.

I hate dealing with evictions and repos. Those are just a couple of good job related reasons for getting a concealed carry permit.
