Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Ok, that makes more sense! So the guy was the aggressor; sprayed the guy then once shot, shot and killed the other.... makes sense, I took it the other way....
This is validation for everyone who accuses people of walking around with video cameras of purposely looking for trouble. This guy sure found trouble, and didn't survive.

It is the other way. Pepper sprayer got killed.Originally Posted by 10mm-man

That is what i thought but someone said the other way.... So the pepper sprayer got killed but the other guy get's charged!?
Colorado cuts in line, Benn calls him on it, argument starts, Colorado sprays Benn, Benn draws first, both pull guns and shoot, both wounded, Colorado dies at hospital, Benn released from hospital and is arrested and charged.
Clear as mudd ?

My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

Depending on the details of witness accounts, this could go either way for Benn. I can see a scenario where its a good shoot and scenario where its a bad shoot.
Bizarre.
Can't even cut in line anymore without getting shot.

how would someone spraying someone with pepperspray NOT be considered assault?
There's a cop! Hold my Beer, I'm gonna go try this out....
Edited *Both had CCWs at one time but only Benn appears to have had a legal CCW at the time of the shooting*
"Colorado, 42, was a former Norfolk deputy sheriff and auxiliary deputy in Chesapeake who was known for his online persona "Norfolk Dirt.""
"Benn has a concealed handgun permit and has no criminal convictions, according to a 2009 renewal of his permit. Colorado had a concealed handgun permit in Norfolk, but a judge revoked it in September 2008 because of a voluntary commitment in Chesapeake, according to court records. Details about what prompted a Chesapeake judge to issue the commitment order were unavailable, and the District Court clerk's office said they are sealed.
Colorado was a Norfolk deputy sheriff from April 1994 to May 1996, when he was terminated, said Paula Miller, a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. He later worked as an auxiliary deputy in Chesapeake. He was promoted to auxiliary sergeant in Chesapeake in 1998 and stayed with the office until 2008, according to a sheriff's spokesman and court records.
Colorado was known in online communities under his Twitter and Facebook handle "Norfolk Dirt."
Norfolk police arrested him on April 28 on an allegation that he was harassing a woman who coordinated an anti-sexual-assault rally called SlutWalk Norfolk. Colorado made a video of himself talking to women who participated in the march; the video, posted on YouTube, shows a Norfolk police officer telling him he is under arrest."
Benn's explanation sounds believable to me but not much to go on at this point.
"After he noticed another man had gotten in line in front him, Benn said he told the other man, "Excuse me, sir. I'm in line."
After the man became hostile, Benn said, "I moved out of the way and let him have the spot."
Benn said he continued talking to his mother when he was hit by pepper spray and heard the other man say, "I got more for you, bro."
After both men had drawn weapons, Benn said, he asked Colorado to put his gun down.
"I was scared for my life."
He was shot in the back and showed bandages covering the wound. After shooting Colorado, Benn said, he kicked Colorado's gun away to stop him from retrieving it."
