Surveillance Footage



quote:

No one will be prosecuted for the fatal shooting of Shawn Breland, a 41-year-old Army veteran who was killed April 4 after an altercation with a clerk and another customer at a Shell station in Mandeville.

District Attorney Warren Montgomery said in a news release that his office will not pursue criminal charges based on the evidence.

He noted that the Mandeville Police Department concluded Breland was the aggressor in the incident and that it didn’t arrest the shooter, who was lawfully armed.

Montgomery released security-camera footage that shows Breland became increasingly agitated as he interacted first with the clerk and then with another customer, who was carrying a gun in a holster.

You can tell from the video that, although not required, the "shooter" retreated and did everything he could to not shoot the man. It's a sad story, but the shooting seems legally justified.

While maybe not textbook, I thought the shooter handled it as well as he could, resisting for as long as he could.

Where the frick were the cops? What's the response time in Mandeville these days?

What was the guy who got shot pissed off about in the first place?

If I'm fighting someone and I'm the aggressor, once my intended victim pulls a gun the fight is over.
