The Baton Rouge Business Report quoted sources as saying the shooter fired in self-defense because he and his wife felt threatened by Buckley.
Monday afternoon, police said the investigation is still ongoing and the bystander has not been charged in the case.

Good thing the guy protected themselves because people are crazy out there. I made the mistake of going to the Shell gas station on Siegen Ln next to Sports Academy on Saturday and I had 7 different panhandlers beg me for money. The last two were pissed that I didn’t give them anything.
