If this happened in Texas ... ‘I Didn’t Want to Die’: Murder Suspect Surrenders After Cape Cod Restaurant Shooting
A 26-year-old man who turned himself in to police after fatally shooting a 35-year-old man in the head at a popular Cape Cod restaurant has told investigators he acted in self-defense after being jumped, punched, and struck repeatedly in the head with a hard object during a confrontation inside the Moonfish restaurant.
He was bleeding from a head wound, that was inflicted during the assault. The cops in Massachusetts still couldn't ID this as likely self-defense, and they arrested him.
He said during an interview that he tried to walk away, the guy who got shot (the the reporters in MA keep calling a victim) hit him in the head with something.
Detectives observed dried blood on his head; he refused medical treatment.
West Dennis, Massachusetts, is about an 80 mile drive south and east of Boston.
I hope I can find more about this incident, because it is clearly more complicated than the tiny minds of New England police and reporters can deal with.
I believe that in Mass, even if they decide they can't prosecute him for murder or attempted or whatever, they will charge him with something, such as a gun crime, because they hate the very idea of guns in private hands.
