Shooter was a firearms instructor. How do you feel about this?



Mandeville, LA: The surveillance video shows perp (Breland) arguing with the clerk and jabbing his index finger in the air at him. Mandeville police said at the time that he was berating the clerk and using racial slurs.

The clerk told him to leave, but Breland kept returning to the store, at one point throwing packages of chips at the clerk.

The armed customer followed Breland outside to get the license plate number from Breland’s vehicle, police said, prompting Breland to attack him.The video shows Breland backing the other man up inside the store and finally cornering him. Then Breland can be seen crumpling and sitting on the floor, rubbing his face.

The clerk called police when the altercation began, but Breland had been shot by the time they arrived.

Mandeville police, who interviewed witnesses and viewed the footage, said the shooter drew his weapon and ordered Breland back, but to no avail. He shot him once in the torso, and when Breland
continued to come after him, fired two more rounds. Montgomery said Breland’s death was a tragedy but was legally justified.
