1. Interesting.

Wish there were more details. I guess the jusry figured it was a legal shooting, so...

3. YUP

Story says he was licensed to carry.

4. Gotta wonder who he's connected to in order to get a carry permit

Might that have had something to do with him not being found guilty?

7. He's from Virginia - VA has repriocity from PA

Probably carrying on his VA permit.

On edit - verified in news story. BTW another story has it as a .380

Ung, of Fairfax County, Va., near Washington, had a permit from there that allowed him to legally carry his .38-caliber pistol in Pennsylvania.

8. You never fired a warning shot or shot at his arms or legs

McDermott then stated, “You never fired a warning shot or shot at his arms or legs just at his chest and abdomen?

Ung replied: “He just kept coming”

McDermott asked, “After the first shot, the second shot, the third shot? She continued, “The fourth shot … the fifth shot … the sixth shot?”

Ung replied, “I didn’t know if I had struck him or not.”
