http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/attempted-home-intruder-killed"He was on his own property. They dragged him out of his car, and they dragged his girlfriend as well, and he defended himself. He did the right thing, and so I stand with him, I stand with his family. I've known his family since he was a little kid, and had he not taken the action he had taken he would have been another young dead black kid in this city,
CLEVELAND - One person is dead and another suspect remains on the loose after an attempted robbery overnight on East 178th Street just off of Nottingham Road in Cleveland.

this appears to be a justifiable use of deadly force and charges will not be filed against the CCW holder.

It appears there was no objection made by the couple's neighbors.
Loved the Betty Boop character.

You are justified in defending yourself.

(8,614 posts)5. This is clearly a case where the people should have retreated
from the assault to a safe area and reported this to police. There was obviously an opportunity and an opening to do so. Instead he chose to raise the level of violence by producing another firearm into the situation. As it is they should be charged with murder, tried , convicted and sent to a long term prison sentence.
I don't know if this is needed.
