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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
