“Hood texted her son and had him come to the restaurant as the argument turned physical, according to prosecutors, who said the boy took out a gun and shot Brown in the back.
Brown ran from the store as Hood’s son allegedly continued to fire. The teen and his mother followed Brown to the parking lot, where she told her son to keep shooting Brown and to kill him, prosecutors said.
Hood also was accused of telling her son to then shoot Brown’s girlfriend and of trying to take the gun from her son afterward. The two left the scene and went home.”
Years ago in West Michigan, there was a case where a man and his adult son were eating at a Denny’s type restaurant and a guy came in who began harassing and threatening the patrons in the dining room. The man told his son to quietly go to their nearby home and bring the man’s legal pistol back to him at the restaurant. The son did so. The situation at the restaurant escalated between the misbehaving and threatening male and all the restaurant patrons in the dining room. I don’t believe the police were ever called until after the man shot and killed the man who was threatening the diners and disruptiung their meals out. I believe the man who shot was charged with some type of offense for not calling and leaving it to police but it was ultimately not charged as open murder or equivalent. FWIW IMHO
