The officer might have accidentally shot himself in the process of trying to shoot and unarmed Charlie over a personal, non-criminal dispute. | |

| Sep 13, 2019 at 17:58 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | I strongly suspect the answer is that Bob has committed some manner of assault, and if Charlie dies, maybe manslaughter; the fact that the officer wanted to shoot Charlie probably does not give Bob any kind of defense. However, this situation would almost certainly be covered by state law, not federal, so please specify a state. | |
