And self-defense is legal in Tennessee. Deadly shooting at Nashville convenience store investigated as self-defense
He was having a mental breakdown, and family members were taking him somewhere when he got out of their car. He ended up in a struggle with a convenience store clerk.
Distefano attempted to get into the clerk's vehicle. The clerk tried to get away, but was followed into the store. Distefano saw that he was carrying a gun and threatened to shoot him with it, according to police.
The two wrestled behind the counter and police were told Distefano tried to disarm the clerk. The clerk eventually pulled his pistol and shot Distefano.
While I'm sure this is a tragedy for the dead-guy's family, I am glad it is not a tragedy for the clerk's family.
The investigation continues, but no charges have been brought against the clerk who defended himself.
Self-defense is a human-right.
