Self-Defense Is Legal in Indiana

I thought it was, but you can never really be sure that the prosecutors will see it that way. Sheriff believes shooting outside Camby Walmart in June was self-defense

In the afternoon of June 2nd, two men got into a verbal altercation at a Walmart. That escalated and ended with one man dead.

Deputies arrived on scene and found a man in the parking lot suffering from a gunshot wound to his torso. The wounded man ended up dying from his wound after being transported to the hospital. He was later identified as Matthew Steele, 34, of Indianapolis.

Camby, Indiana is about 5 miles southwest of the beltway (Interstate 465) that encircles Indianapolis, and it is about 11 miles southwest of downtown.

The guy who got shot did not survive his wounds. Police detained the shooter, but later released him.

The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department said that after a thorough investigation, evidence of self-defense was found leading to the prosecutor to decline pressing criminal charges against the shooter.

Self-defense is a human right.
