Texas CHL holder shoots kid. - The Firearms Forum

Calderon is accused of crashing into Randle's car Wednesday night and speeding away, then opening fire when Randle caught up with him, Houston police said.

By charging Calderon with felony murder, prosecutors don't have to prove that he intended to kill the girl. The charge accuses him of intentionally and knowingly shooting at the mother's and daughter's car, a felony offense by itself, and committing an act dangerous to human life by shooting Wiley.
Houston homicide investigators said Calderon, who is licensed to carry a concealed handgun, alleged he was acting in self-defense, but his story does not match accounts provided by witnesses.

“He's very knowledgeable about gun laws and about when he can and can't use his weapon,” said Sgt. Brian Harris of the Houston Police Department Homicide Division. “There are no indications this was self-defense.”
This will stir up a lot of h*** in Texas now.

Did you fall asleep during that part of your CCW class? WTH guy you were the pursuer, even if they did have a gun, you were in the wrong. If you "knew the law" so well then why didn't you follow it. I don't even think Johnny Cochran could spin this one if he were alive.

Good thing Texas uses the death penalty liberaly. This case would seem to cry out for it, especially because he supposedly knew gun laws!
