SHOOTING BY TAXI DRIVER RULED SELF DEFENSE

The driver told police the passenger began punching him in the back of his head; that’s when the driver pulled out a gun, turned around, and fired once at the passenger.

Calls capture the moment the passenger jumped out of the parked van.

“He says he needs help. He’s on the ground and he’s screaming,” one caller said.

“I think he’s shot because he’s laying on the ground,” said another.
