Tennessee man says fatal shooting was act of self-defense

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities in Tennessee say a man told them he fired his weapon in self-defense when he fatally shot someone who approached his car in a parking lot.

The Bristol Herald Courier reports Sullivan County sheriff’s officials said in a news release that a man told them on Saturday he was approached by the victim, 29-year-old Rusty Cordle. The man said he’d been driving in front of Cordle on a state highway before pulling into a business lot. He says Cordle pulled in after him and approached his vehicle in a “threatening manner” and he feared for his life. The man shot Cordle, who then entered a store and asked for help.

Homeowner: ‘I was scared for my life,’ panicked before fatally shooting 19-year-old

by Ethan Hutchins
ULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — A homeowner who fatally shot a man outside his home says he was scared for his life and panicked.

That homeowner says he’s really shaken up because he never expected this to happen. Meanwhile, police say they’re treating this as self-defense.

A shooting last night that left one man dead and another shaken up is still being investigated hours later.

“Right now, it looks like he was justified,” said Officer Danny Bean.

That’s what Tulsa police believe happened outside the home — a homeowner defending his house from another man.

“Our homeowner had a gun and our second subject also had a gun,” said Bean.

Man thwarts home invasion, shoots intruders holding mother of two at gunpoint

By Corey Davis
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Philadelphia police are trying to track down a man they say stopped a home invasion by shooting two intruders, one of whom later died.

The break-in happened around 4 a.m. Monday at a home near Walker and Wellington Streets in the Tacony section of Philadelphia.

Police said two men wearing masks broke into the home by climbing up a deck and entering through a nearby window.

The men went upstairs and stole a cell phone from a 9-year-old boy and then held his mother at gunpoint in the next room demanding money, according to police.

Police said the woman’s one-year-old was also in the house.

Investigators said a man interrupted the robbery with gunfire.

Ex wanting to give a whole new meaning to the term squirrel rifle? With one like that she wouldn’t have to lead them as much.

From what I read, the Kingsport, TN should be 0/0/1. The “defendant says he approached in a threatening manner, was there corroborating evidence for this, or did he just shoot the guy for approaching his car? Maybe he was going to tell him his taillights were out? Or ask him if he was ok, because he was swerving all over the road and nearly hit him?
While he may have felt threatened, he was in his car, and could have simply pointed the gun and said move away. Stand your ground does not say shoot first, like Han Solo!
