When he saw the shotgun and heard the threat, Mr. Dunn reached into his glove compartment, unholstered his Taurus 9-millimeter gun and fired two rounds into the back seat, and then two more. As the car with the teenagers pulled out, he feared they would try to shoot back, so he fired four more shots, his lawyer said.

He returned to the hotel, believing no one had been hurt.

He had time to reach into his glove box to get his weapon but not leave?

One has to wonder why he thought firing 8 rounds into a vehicle and no one was hurt ?

He fired 4 more rounds into a vehicle pulling away ?

This is hardly self defense,the way the law is written... more like moronic...

If he left, he would have been abandoning his girlfriend in the store, to the potential gang when she came out.

From his discription, as in many of these cases that you read about, the threat was escalated over time.

I want everyone to understand that I was not there. I do not think anyone commenting was there.

I am merely explaining obvious possibilities. If Dunn had called the police right away, the presumption of his innocence would be very likely. We will find out more over time.

Here are some obvious questions:

Who were the people in the SUV?

Did any of them have a criminal record?

Who owned the SUV? Did they take Jordan to the Hospital?

How long was it after the shooting that they reported it to police?

As others have noted, it is really too early to know what happened, but we have two very different versions of events.
