Journalists Hate the Very Idea of Self-defense

Reporters don't usually come up with headlines; that is often the job of editors. Evansville homeowner claims to have shot man in self defense after 'attack' in driveway

The homeowner "claims" self-defense. A claim he made for shooting a man who attacked him on his own property. He also called 911 and cooperated with the investigation. The homeowner was not arrested.

Vanderburgh County, Indiana is in the extreme southern part of the state, on the Kentucky state line. It is about 160 miles by car southwest of Indianapolis.

Once on scene, deputies located a man who had suffered a gunshot wound to his leg and the homeowner who shot him. The deputies applied a tourniquet to the injured man, and paramedics transported him by ambulance to a local hospital.

The DA will make any determination about charges, but Indiana has a long history of respecting the right to defend yourself.
