Apparently people are still struggling to understand the phrase, "It's over." Jackson police say fatal Walker Avenue shooting appears tied to domestic violence
That would be Jackson, Mississippi.
The details are complicated, and I would say not explained very well, but then the reporter is relying on some bystanders/witnesses for parts of the story, and they are not as clear as the police statement.
He was apparently stalking the girl, and he showed up at her stepdad's home. He fired through the door, and then kicked in the door. He was shot twice for his trouble, and did not survive. The girl was also shot, and was taken to a local hospital.
That is my interpretation, but I may be completely wrong. The police said much less about the incident.
The police chief, RaShall Brackney, went on at some length about "finding the triggers of domestic violence." I would say human nature, but what do I know? And in all the ways this could have turned out, I think I can say that the bad guy got justice in this case, though he managed to inflict some harm, so we can't say "Bad Guys 0."
The homeowner was released after questioning, without being charged, because self-defense is a human right. It appears to be a legal right in Mississippi.
