There's a case playing out right now.
An armed man was chased, apparently with the intent to disarm him. When cornered, he shot and killed one of the persons chasing him. He was chased again after that incident, struck by one of the persons chasing him. He fell down at one point and was kicked, then struck again with an object and the person who struck him may have grabbed at his gun--he fired from the ground, killing the person who struck him. Another man rushed at him with a pistol in his hand. He fired again from the ground striking the pistol-wielding man in the arm.
Sounds like pretty straightforward self-defense, right?
He's currently in jail, charged with first degree murder and facing a number of other charges as well.
Anyone who tries to convince you that it will be easy to talk your way out of shooting someone in a riot situation isn't keeping up with the news, and you aren't doing yourself any favors if you believe what they tell you and act on it.
