Detroit police believe a concealed pistol license holder was justified when he shot and critically injured a 27-year-old man, who was acting violently in Detroit about 11 p.m. Sunday.
The 27-year-old man who was shot is now in critical condition. The 23-year-old shooter was questioned and released by police.
The shooter witnessed the 27-year-old having a fight with a man and woman sitting in a pickup near Lyndon and Stansbury in Detroit; the fight escalated, the man used an object to break a window on the pickup and the driver drove off.
The CPL holder approached and ordered the man to stop and told him to "not get any closer," according to Dante Freeman of the Detroit Police Department Media Relations Department. |

This guy didn't have the authority to order the perpetrator to "freeze" at gunpoint after-the-fact.
Charges are coming, no doubt. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
