A prosecutor says there is no indication of self-defense on the part of the 18-year-old suspect in the deadly overnight shooting at Northern Arizona University.
Deputy County Attorney Ammon Barker said Steven Jones could have easily walked away from a fight early Friday and instead retrieved his gun and "went back into the fray."
Jones claims he was chased by several people as he ran to his car and then he yelled at them that he had a gun. Barker says Jones gave "self-serving statements to police."
Barker says the student who died was hit with two bullets, one in the chest and one in the shoulder. |

Arizona lawmakers expanded this idea, known as the Castle Doctrine, to include your car. Even if you are able to get out of your car, you can stand your ground with a weapon in self-defense against a carjacker, Bloom said.
In murder cases inside a home or car where the defense argues self-defense, Bloom said prosecutors in Arizona face an uphill battle convincing the jury to convict.
Arizona's law also states you can defend yourself with deadly force in any place you have the right to be as long as you are not breaking the law, Bloom said. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege. [Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)] |
