Defensive Use of Firearms

A 17-year-old boy was fatally shot in Ohio earlier this month after carjacking an Amazon delivery driver. 

The incident, reported at approximately 7:40 a.m., involved 25-year-old Jamauri Griffin, who was reportedly armed with a gun at his ex-girlfriend’s residence.

A homeowner shot a man last week in Maine when the man was caught breaking into the home. 

When police arrived, one of the suspects was found “lying in the street and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.” He had a handgun near him on the ground.

Investigators say her home was chosen because Condon knew she would not be able to get help. He intended to prey on the fact that she was old and alone to steal from and potentially murder her. 

A shooting from last month where a man was seriously shot on a New York City subway is being deemed a self-defense case by attorneys. 

I would be shaken up if someone broke into my home and I would absolutely try to defend myself. Imagine having it happen again the next night too. 

At around 2 a.m. Monday morning, the intruder, who appeared to be intoxicated, broke into an apartment. The small apartment was attached to a main home. 

A 60-year-old Chicago concealed carrier shot and killed a would-be armed robber last week in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood.
