An Ohio man recently shot and killed a person identified as his daughter's ex-boyfriend as the man attempted to break into the house in broad daylight. The incident was caught on a Ring Doorbell.
The shooter reportedly will not be charged. One obviously questionable aspect of the shooing lies in the fact that the third and fatal shot was fired after the man had turned and fled almost all the way to the driveway. Whether the shooter was able to know that is not clear. It could have had serious consequences.
The shooter unwisely agreed a police interview without counsel. The recorded interview was shown on one of Andrew Branca's LoSD blog posts, along with a discussion by an experienced police interrogator.
The laid back middle aged suspect, dressed casually, was interviewed by a similarly dressed middle aged officer, who appeared relaxed, friendly, and possibly sympathetic. The man asked questions to which the answers were already well known. He asked questions that appeared unrelated to the incident.
Andrew's guest explained the why and wherefore of each question and gesture of the trained interrogator. The timing of that third shot was but not mentioned--he was pulling on other threads, looking for motive. It was extremely enlightening.
