I’m confused. I thought the victim was the one who shot the aggressor? Or was the guy who was defending himself (the victim) transported to the hospital?

With the condition of the education system expect confusing article that get clicks but say nothing to inform the public. Chaos is the goal and the media is eyeballs deep in the effort. Very poor reporting by the WOWO team. Don;t hold you breath waiting on a correction of a modification.
