 | Locust Fork shooting could fall under ‘stand your ground’ (AL)
OpSD --Famed defense attorney Charles Salvagio, who is not representing the family, believes this is a clear cut case of self defense. “It’s a classic stand your ground,” says Charles Salvagio. “The person that was killed did not have the right to be where he was. The person that shot him did have the right to be where he was. He was justified in using deadly force if he thought his mom was going to be inured.”

| Psychiatrist shoots patient in self-defense (PA)
OpSD --A doctor's reaction may have saved other lives. A psychiatrist has told police a patient fatally shot a caseworker at a suburban Philadelphia hospital complex before the doctor pulled out his own gun and exchanged fire with the patient. Delaware District Attorney Jack Whelan says Dr. Lee Silverman was grazed in the temple during the gunfight with patient Richard Plotts.
