Shooting incidents in the news.

Aggravated assault at least, probably attempted aggravated robbery (don’t know all the facts).

The others could potentially be charged with felony murder. @ssb

You would not get felony murder for the death of a co-felon. T.C.A. 39-13-202(a)(2) specifies the killing must be “in perpetration” of one of the listed felonies or attempts to commit the same. The killing must be in perpetration of the felony, rather than collateral to it. In other words, a co-felon killing a store clerk during a robbery works, but the police or a victim defending themselves does not. State v. Severs, 759 S.W.2d 935, has some discussion of this scenario (would-be victim kills co-felon).

My guess is that this gets charged as attempted aggravated robbery.

Interesting, I know one of the DA’s offices here has charted feeling murder in similar situations. Don’t know how the cases turned out though. Probably dropped in plea negotiations.

Article is woefully short on detail, but there was a shooting/bombing incident at a hospital here in the Twin Cities metro area today: https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2021/...uffalo-clinic/

Not happy times...what kind of asshole shoots up and bombs a hospital?

Yeah, that is 100% the same incident. Thanks for the better link. Sounds like it was a case of a personal grudge. Still, those "...bans guns in these premises" signs seem to have worked about as well as you'd expect.

FDLE investigating Coral Gables shooting involving Homeland Security agents; 1 dead

CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - Gunfire tore through a quiet neighborhood in Coral Gables, leaving one person dead in what authorities described as a shooting involving agents with the Department of Homeland Security.

Agencies at the federal, state and local levels, including Miami-Dade Police and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, responded to the scene near South Alhambra Circle and Cecilia Avenue, Friday afternoon.

“It’s scary, genuinely, like, I’ve never seen more police than I have before now,” said an area resident.

According to Homeland Security officials, a subject pulled out a weapon to agents who were in the neighborhood conducting an investigation.

“During a large-scale financial investigation, an individual brandished a weapon at special agents with Homeland Security Investigations,” said Homeland Security Special Agent Anthony Salisbury. “As a result, agents fired at the suspect.”

One person was killed.

Aerial footage of the scene showed a yellow tarp inside a bullet-riddled gray Chrysler Voyager minivan, numerous police units and yellow crime tape.

The firearm that was taken out was recovered at the scene.

A 12-year-old juvenile occupant of the residence shot at the suspects with a firearm in self-defense, causing them to flee the area," wrote officials in a statement.

An Oakland, Calif., store owner was arrested this week after trying to stop a robbery that was happening outside his shop, according to a report. No one was wounded in the 5:45 p.m. Monday incident but the store owner was arrested for felony assault with a firearm, the report said. He was later freed on $60,000 bail pending further legal action, according to the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. The business owner was wrong to try to intervene in the situation, the city’s police chief said at a news conference on Tuesday.
