A woman who fatally shot a firefighter in Independence earlier this month will not face charges because of Missouri’s self-defense law, often referred to as “stand your ground.”

The off-duty Kansas City firefighter, 41-year-old Anthony Santi, was on top of and restraining a 23-year old man in a chokehold outside of an Independence gas station, when the woman left the vehicle she was in, yelled at the men to try to break up the fight and fired a round that hit Santi in the back, ultimately killing him.

So what does “stand your ground” have to do with the case? Head to the link in our bio to read the full story.
