Self-defense Is Legal in Virginia

You can never be sure about these things today. Edinburg man shot, killed during dispute in Mount Jackson

A man was assaulting a woman in the street. She ran to a home for help. The homeowner ended up shooting the attacker.

[Sheriff Timothy] Carter wouldn’t say what specifically led to the shooting, but said everything indicated that the homeowner fired the gun as an act of self defense for himself and his family. The Sheriff’s Office has no information that the homeowner was acquainted with Romick or the woman, Carter said.

The homeowner is cooperating with law enforcement and has not been charged, Carter said.

Though the prosecutor will make the final determination.

Self-defense is a human-right.
