Making the Case: When self-defense goes wrong
The city of Houston has lost another innocent child to senseless gun violence. A 9 year-old-girl was accidentally shot by a robbery victim in southeast Houston in a Chase Bank parking lot Monday night and Houston Police say the man had just been victimized and thought he was firing at the suspect who robbed him. Instead, he fired into a truck carrying a family. Crime continues to rise in Houston, and with Texas gun laws changing that now allow people to carry a weapon without obtaining a canceled handgun license, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has warned residents that they should assume everyone is carrying a weapon. So what happens when you're trying to defend yourself and that goes terribly wrong? The News Edge spoke to legal analyst Charles Adams about what the law says about firing in self-defense but missing your target.
