- 23:09Speaker 1: When Matthew entered the house, the officer walked towards the
- 23:12Speaker 1: rear of the home while shielding his two children. The
- 23:15Speaker 1: man's girlfriend was backed into a corner while the officer
- 23:18Speaker 1: continued to warn Matthew to back away before he was
- 23:22Speaker 1: finally forced to shoot. Police arrived to find Matthew lying
- 23:26Speaker 1: face down in his own blood with a bullet wound
- 23:29Speaker 1: to the chest. He was pronounced dead minutes later. After
- 23:34Speaker 1: a short investigation, it was declared that No wrongdoing had
- 23:37Speaker 1: been made by the off duty police officer and no
- 23:40Speaker 1: charges were filed against him. In court, the jury ruled
- 23:44Speaker 1: it as a justifiable homicide. The law in Illinois allows
- 23:48Speaker 1: for a person to defend themself or another person who
- 23:51Speaker 1: was in great danger of bodily harm or death within
- 23:54Speaker 1: their home. The nine to one one call was critical
- 23:57Speaker 1: evidence in this case. And that's all for this free
