What would you do if someone was threatening a person you loved? Indiana State Police: Woman shoots, kills Salem man in her front yard - WISH-TV | Indianapolis News
When he got out of his car, he grabbed the homeowner, who was not publicly identified by state police, and forced him to the ground.
“Chastain then pulled a weapon and pointed it at the homeowner’s head,” a state police release said.
The homeowner’s wife, who also was not publicly identified by state police, saw what was happening from the inside of the house. She grabbed her handgun, walked outside of the house, and shot Chastain.
Salem, Indiana is a town in the southern portion of the state, about 25 miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky.
As per usual, friends and family of the dead guy don't like self-defense.
Friends of Chastain claimed he and the homeowner knew each other.
They said the situation is odd, and the details don’t make sense. [Reference]
Cops don't make decisions about charges, DAs do that, but Indiana has a history of recognizing your right to defend yourself and your family.
