He Suffered a Failure of the Victim-selection Process

I have seen too many stories of arguments where one of the parties went to violence. Over words. Self-defense claimed after shooting near Kenner hookah lounge leaves man critically injured, police say

This story is from Kenner, Louisiana

Officers responding to a 911 call found the 27-year-old LaPlace man down in the parking lot with a gunshot wound to his head. The man’s identity was not disclosed, but police said he was taken to a hospital in critical condition and was on life support machinery Sunday afternoon.

He was shot by another man who remained at the scene awaiting police, along with that man’s wife, who made the 911 call to report the shooting. The married couple told police they had argued with the LaPlace man in the parking lot before he told them, “I have something for you,” and went to retrieve something from his vehicle.

Since he was worried for his wife, he retrieved his own weapon. When the first guy drew a weapon, the 2nd guy drew and fired.

The investigation continues, but the couple is cooperating with police, and no arrests have been made.

And people really need to learn how to just walk away from arguments.

Self-defense is a human-right.
