Don't assume your intended victim is unarmed in 2025. Michigan man who shot shovel-wielding man acted in self-defense, police say - CBS Detroit
A 60-year-old Michigan man who shot another man who attacked him with a shovel acted in self-defense, authorities said.
Reasonable fear of imminent death, or grave bodily injury goes without saying, if your assailant is armed with a shovel.
The 49-year-old told the 60-year-old to leave, and then he shoved him, and hit him with the shovel. The 60-year-old shot him twice, and called police.
The man who was shot was taken to an area hospital, where he is in stable condition, police said.
There is even video evidence from somewhere, but they do not elaborate.
Kalamazoo, Michigan is about a 140 mile drive west of Detroit. It is about 35 miles east of Lake Michigan.
Self-defense is a human right, and it has been gaining traction as a legal right in Michigan the past several years.
All he wanted to do was return a borrowed stepladder. And he gets attacked. (Hat tip to KABA)
