After watching the horrific video, this seems to be a deliberate act, versus a different scenario such as a medical emergency.
As we’re Concealed Nation, I’ll also mention the following: The use of deadly force against the driver in this instance would have absolutely been justified under the laws of self-defense and the defense of others.
A press conference is scheduled for 7:30 p.m central time.
This is a developing story.
