Self-Defense Is Legal in Indiana

I haven't seen whether or not this guy was fired from his job. No charges filed for shooter at Greenfield Amazon facility | WTHR. This incident took place in the middle of December.

A guy was working at an Amazon facility in Indianapolis, when another guy, also an Amazon employee, though not schedule to work that day, started a confrontation in the break room. The first guy tried to leave, to deescalate the situation, but the second guy was not having any of it.

The shooter then left Amazon and tried to "disengage from any confrontation," the release said. While the shooter was waiting for his ride to leave the Amazon facility, Riley followed.

The release said Riley "aggressively closed distance" on the shooter, creating "fear of injury" for the shooter.

The shooter then drew his gun and Riley said "I ain't worried about no gun" and continued to charge at the shooter and reaching into his pants as if he were also going to draw a gun, the release said.

The DA finally decided that they couldn't win, so the ruled self-defense. Hancock County Prosecutor Brent Eaton made the following statement:

Given the totality of the evidence in this case it is clear that Unnamed Shooter made multiple attempts to disengage from Riley. It is also clear that at the time of the shooting the Unnamed Shooter had reason to believe that force was necessary to prevent serious bodily injury to himself from Riley.

I'm not sure why it took two and a half months to make that determination. Maybe he was waiting on police reports, or an autopsy, but my guess is that the DA hates self-defense was hoping something would turn up that could lead to a prosecution. Most DAs hate self-defense, and they care little for Justice; they like to win.

Self-defense is a human right.
