Anderson admitted to discharging a handgun and shooting Johnson about 12:33 p.m. Feb 22, 2017. He called 9-1-1 and informed the dispatcher what had just transpired and he told authorities where he was and awaited deputies and EMS to arrive at the scene of the shooting, on Lindo Trail, near Sunrise Lake. They found a single bullet near Anderson’s truck where he had fired from the front seat striking Johnson in the chest. Johnson was lying on the ground near an ATV he had used for transport.
Earl Gray, Anderson’s defense attorney, pursued a self defense argument that apparently convinced the jury that Anderson had no option but to shoot Johnson. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
