Self-Defense Seems To Be Legal in Pennsylvania

Which is always a bit of a shock. Man who fired shot that killed man, injured 2 others after bar fight in Allentown will not be charged, acted in self-defense, DA says | Allentown Area | WFMZ

The Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office says a man who fired shots at three people, killing one and injuring two others, at a bar in Allentown last year was justified in his use of force.

The man will not be charged, because he was acting in self-defense and the defense of others.

The incident in question took place on December 19th, so considering that very little happens over the holidays, I suppose this isn't a bad time frame for a DA in Pennsylvania.

The man who fired the shots at the three people during the fight reasonably believed that the use of deadly force was imminently necessary to protect the person from the risk of death or serious bodily injury, the DA’s office said.

Self-defense is a human right.
