Though she still faces other, gun-related charges. Woman who shot and killed man in Downtown Cincinnati club won't be charged in the homicide
Prosecutors have declined to file homicide charges against a 20-year-old woman accused of fatally shooting a restaurant employee inside a downtown Cincinnati bar, saying surveillance video supports her claim that she acted in self-defense.
One charge that remains is she is less than 21 years old, and had a gun.
Prosecutors and the defense agreed in court that Minor acted in self-defense. [Cincinnati police Detective David] Gregory said Minor “was the victim of a pretty vicious assault,” and investigators said the employee who died was the aggressor. Defense attorney Clyde Bennett said Minor was attacked and shot to protect herself.

I seem to remember a case about "under 21" and gun possession working its way through the courts, but I don't know how far along it is.
Self-defense is a human right, and it might even be your legal right in a blue city like Cincinnati.
