Authorities say shooting of three was self-defense
Authorities say a man who shot and killed two men and wounded another in a Sacramento apartment early Monday was acting in self-defense.
Sacramento County Sheriff's Sgt. Tim Curran says authorities declined to arrest the 26-year-old man after witnesses reported that the three men confronted the man outside his apartment, then broke in and continued the attack after he had retreated inside.
Investigators say during the attack, the man retrieved a handgun and shot all three attackers.
Two of the attackers died at the scene. The third, a 23-year-old, was taken to a hospital. He is expected to survive.
Curran says the district attorney's office will make a final decision on whether to file charges against the resident of the apartment.
