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.
ReplyDeleteGood chance their is video of the incident. Equally good chance it never sees the light of day. Especially if it supports the claim of self defense.
