The report says,
The sheriff’s office said the ex-boyfriend had kicked down the front door of the apartment where the woman, her son and other family members lived. After kicking down the door, HCSO said the man attempted to assault the woman’s son, who responded by shooting the man twice. HCSO said the shooting was done in self-defense.
The man later died.
This seems to be a clear case of self-defense, but it’s always critical to know your target and what’s beyond. For that, we always recommend carrying a handheld or pistol light.
