Don't Bring a Machete to a Gunfight

This also is an example of crazy people are dangerous. Man shot and killed after altercation with machete in New Haven

New Haven officers were called at 5:30 p.m. Friday to the Bella Vista housing complex on Eastern Street for a disturbance. Callers reported that a Black male was carrying a machete, banging on doors, and rambling.

The man, 56-year-old John Reynolds, was shot and killed by a resident after an altercation ensued. According to 911 callers, Reynolds had a history of mental health problems and may have been under the influence.

Bella Vista is a senior living complex in New Haven, Connecticut. New Haven is on the northern shore of Long Island Sound, about an 80 mile drive northeast from New York City.

Bella Vista is a senior living housing complex. Neighbors said there is security, but some believe it’s not enough.

The resident who shot Reynolds has not been arrested, though the investigation is ongoing. I have no feeling for how Connecticut in general or New Haven in particular views self-defense.
