Stand Your Ground Case - Locust Fork Alabama :: 07/24/2014
LOCUST FORK, Ala. (WIAT) — Self defense or homicide? That's what investigators are trying to figure out in the case of a shooting in Blount County. Early details point to domestic violence being a contributing factor in this case. WIAT 42 News was first on scene in Locust Fork yesterday as this story broke. Today we spoke with several investigators, the sheriff, and two defense attorneys, including the attorney representing the alleged shooter. We asked them all the same questions: is this a case of self defense and will Alabama's stand your ground law be applicable?
Needless to say, it has been a whirlwind three days for the family that lives in the locust fork home in question.
"They're very upset," says Brett King, defense attorney for the alleged shooter. "There was a domestic incident that morning. The deceased was actually escorted off the property and actually taken to Jefferson County. And best we know right now is he actually walked on foot back the seven miles, was back in the house when he was discovered by the mother and the son. And soon there after he was shot."
