Shooting Of 14-Year-Old Ruled Self-Defense. Yes, Really

I don't see an issue with the ruling if all is as stated. The 14 year old attempted to use deadly violence to get what they wanted and were shot.

Here's hoping the drug dealer has issues with attempting to distribute a banned substance and things of that nature, but not for the shooting. Age should not exclude you from the results of your acting stupid.

I teach 14 year olds. It is sad what happened.

Reads as self defense.
