Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe vast majority of times when armed citizens are involved in self-defense shootings the person doing the shooting is arrested, cuffed and taken to the police station. Fingerprints are generally taken, and a night in jail waiting to be bonded out isn\u2019t uncommon. Murder or manslaughter charges are sometimes filed, and the defender makes all the newspapers and police reports, resulting in a sullied reputation at the very least.<\/p>\n
When all that stuff doesn\u2019t happen, it\u2019s a pretty good indication that the incident was an obvious case of self-defense. Such was the case this week in Manhattan, Kansas, when a 26-year-old man was forced to draw his legally carried firearm and shoot an aggressor<\/p>\n
According to police reports, law enforcement officers with the Riley County Police Department responded to a report of shots fired in the 900 block of Yuma Street at around 8 p.m. on October 9. When they arrived, they found that a 23-year-old Manhattan man had been shot in the parking lot of the Douglass Activity Complex.<\/p>\n
The victim was transported by EMS to Ascension Via Christi Hospital, where he was life-flighted to Stormont Vail Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. While details of the event are sketchy at this time and still under investigation, the incident seems to be a clear case of self-defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cPreliminary information indicates the shooter, a 26-year-old male, acted in self-defense,\u201d a release from the Riley County Police Department stated. \u201cDue to the nature of the investigation, no additional information regarding the shooter will be released at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said there is also believed to be little to no relationship between the individuals involved in the self-defense incident. And, they said, the shooting seemed to be an isolated event with no threat to the public.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement officials will continue to investigate the shooting to determine exactly what happened. The department intends to release additional information after the investigation is concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
