Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz and District Attorney George Brauchler (credit: CBS)
Brauchler says Colorado’s self-defense law allows the use of deadly force.
“If you have a weapon on you and you are placed in imminent fear of serious bodily injury or death, you are entitled to defend yourself,” Brauchler said.
Brauchler noted it’s not a case of Make My Day because the shooting didn't happen inside a residence.
“This is straight up regular common sense and statutorily codified self-defense,” he said.
Police were working to identify the three robbery suspect and want the public’s help. They are not ready to identify the man who shot them.
