The only story we have so far is from the shooter as the victim is dead, however he claims he was just innocently turning when a crowd started pounding on his car for no reason and the victim aimed his weapon at him so he drew and fired and killed him and then fled while calling the police to give them his side of the story.

Police have confirmed that the victim did not fire.
So it would be easy to say that this is tragic and should not happen but instead there are those who have to say "Yes, but..."
...if he hadn't had his weapon on him.
...if he hadn't be accused of passing fake $20 bills.
...if he hadn't been jogging where someone was accused of trespassing that the two men who hunted him down didn't know about.
If the victim pulled his (legal) weapon he was more than likely defending his wheel-chair bound girlfriend from a guy trying to drive through a crowd of people.
So less victim shaming on this one, okay?

APD’s current theory is that the driver of the car opened fire first, killing Garrett Foster who had his rifle slung with the safety on.

As the shooter tried to pull away, another pedestrian fired on the car with a small caliber weapon.
I’m hearing that more video exists. https://t.co/ELL9zcYJbe

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
