Self-defense Is Legal in Oklahoma

And people in Oklahoma are heavily armed. Poteau man killed in domestic violence incident

Poteau, Oklahoma is about 20 miles south of Fort Smith, and about 7 miles from the Arkansas/Oklahoma state line.

Poteau Police Department Investigators, OSBI forensics, and an investigator from the Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner were all brought to the scene of the shooting.

A 56-year-old woman was interviewed at the scene and released. The police report states that “preliminary investigation indicates that Edwards was shot in self-defense in a domestic violence incident.”

There are no more details provided, and I looked at multiple articles. The investigation will be presented to the local DA, who will make the final decision on charges.

(Note: If you don't know where Fort Smith is, you need to brush up on your geography.)
