They had arranged to meet, but it apparently turned into a robbery. Police: Shooter possibly acted in self-defense in Florissant shooting, two in custody
According to a media statement Saturday from Florissant police, initial information suggested that two adult men and one juvenile arranged to meet in the parking lot of a Florissant shopping plaza in the 8200 block of Lindbergh Boulevard around 3:15 p.m. Police suspect the arrangement was made for the group “to engage in unlawful activity,”
The shooter, who the DA says may have a self-defense claim for the shooting, has been arrested on other charges. The juvenile who was with the guy who got shot was also arrested.
Florissant, Missouri is roughly a 25 minute drive northwest of downtown Saint Louis.
The police have released very little information about the incident, and have turned over their information to the DA.
The only reference I can find to robbery as a justification for self-defense is Florissant shopping center shooting that left 1 dead was attempted robbery, police say
When bad guys kill bad guys, Second City Cop calls that "The self-cleaning oven at work," which seems a bit cruel to me, but I wasn't a Chicago cop for decades. I suppose it could also be seen in the light of the sayting, "Live by the sword; die by the sword."
