Pace, the 27-year-old man was circling the block while engaging in some sort of verbal contact with the shooter.
At some point during the incident, the 27-year-old man got out of the vehicle and pulled out a weapon, said Pace. That's when the shooter opened fire.Police say they found a bullet from the shooter still lodged in the man's gun. "There is a projectile presumably from the shooter's gun embedded into the gun of the decedent, and it's still there, which lends credence to the information that we received from the shooter that he was shooting in self-defense," said Pace.Police said the shooter had a permit to carry and is cooperating with police.
