This happened on dec. 5th 2012. A man who does usually oc, was cc while grocery shopping. Outside while putting groceries into his truck he witnessed two people brutally beating an unarmed women. Having no idea if the assailants were armed he had to pull to get them off of the victim. After doing this a male assailant then threatened the armed defender's life saying he would come to his house and kill him then walked away. While checking if the victim was ok the assailants then drove back around, aggressively accelerated toward the armed defender, and although he heard and jumped aside (he would have been hit directly by the car) it did clip his elbow causing muscular damage. He then drew and fired in self defense as it appeared to him the driver was going to return. The original assailant who has now become an attempted murderer called the police, and the police came to reports of shots fired. The defender unloaded his weapon and did surrender it to the police during the investigation, showing no threat whatsoever. The police after ten or fifteen minutes decided to detain him. After a few minutes of being in the back of the cruiser he got on his phone, and was then immediately confronted to relinquish his phone. He denied saying he did not consent to search and seizure and wanted to record the interaction. After having it forcibly removed from his person he was then pulled out of his car, slammed to the ground, and cuffed, despite the fact he could barely move his elbow and did not resist except to unlawful seizure. He was then transported to the station (after about an hour) where he was finally seen by a paramedic and given an ice pack. He was questioned, told it seemed he acted in self defense but may face charges, and was told the assailant was charged. No receipt was given for the gun, the ammunition and clip were never taken (he still has them), then he was driven back to his truck where his wife and 3 month old child were left in the parking lot for hours without heat as they were without keys to the vehicle. Later research reveals the assailant was NOT charged with attempted murder, in fact no charges whatsoever. The newspaper reported with assistance of police that the armed defender was the aggressor and attempted to make it into a racially related conflict. (The defender is white the attackers AA).
