Austintown, Ohio police release details of May 13 shooting on New Road
Police are calling this a road rage crash, but then point out the fact that is a domestic violence attack. OK. I think of those things as being two very different things.
In a news release, Chief Valerie Delmont said a vehicle driven by Zachary Fisher, 30, was involved in a crash with a car driven by his ex-girlfriend during a “domestic situation.”
The woman had two children in her car, along with a man in the passenger’s seat, the release said.
The release said following the crash, Fisher got out of his vehicle with a gun in his hand and got in a physical altercation with his ex-girlfriend before coming up to the passenger’s side where the man was sitting.
That passenger was armed, and he shot once, incapacitating Fisher.
Zachary Fisher died at a local hospital.
Austintown, Ohio, is about 3 miles west of Youngstown, or about 55 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Cops are treating the shooting as a case of justified self-defense, but the DA will make the final determination on charges.
Self-defense is a human right, and while Ohio law isn't perfect, it is pretty good (in my opinion - I'm not a lawyer) on self-defense and concealed carry. (Hat tip to Concealed Nation.)
