Found someone inside my car this morning. Seems as though he was trying to steal it. I got sprayed in the face with something. Pulled gun from my backpack and gave chase announcing that he was under arrest. He got away, called the police. Offer who took my statement said that he was glad that I did not shoot while giving chase. He also thought that car theft was not a felony....
But he did tell me that if I had shot the BG right after being sprayed with the unknown substance, that would have been justified.
He also did not seem to know about the following RCW.
Said that if I had shot the BG, for trying to steal my car, that it would have been man slaughter.
