North Dakota Self-Defense: Pipeline worker pulls rifle as he’s surrounded by protesters near Standing Rock :: 11/03/2016
A security contractor who was given the job last week to take pictures of damaged pipeline equipment near Standing Rock, North Dakota, pulled a gun as he was approached by protesters, some of whom were armed with knives.
Kyle Thompson, who never fired a single shot, will not face charges, as authorities determined he acted in self-defense after his truck was run off of the road and set on fire.
