I noticed that they person who killed the teen wasn't in the wrong. They tried to rob the place.They had to protect themselves from the armed teen.
What does that mean for law enforcement in the future.

Instead, gun violence is associated with a confluence of individual, family, school, peer, community, and sociocultural risk factors that interact over time during
