In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on February 17, Perry Stephens, despite wearing a neck brace and using a cane, went to the aid of police officer Brian Harrison, who was being pummeled by a man who had been pulled over for a traffic violation. Stephen claims that after he heard the officer yelling for help and gunshots, he told George Temple, the man attacking the officer, to get off the officer. When Temple did not listen to him, he shot Temple four times in the chest. Stephens said that he then again told Temple to get off the officer. Temple did not comply, and Stephens fatally shot Temple in the head, according to an article on 2theadvocate.com.

Now, the District Attorney's Office will have to decide whether to charge Stephens in Temple's death. One would think this would be an open-and-shut case of proper gun use under Louisiana law, which allows deadly use of force in defense of others to "prevent a violent or forcible felony involving danger to life or great bodily harm," but several items are clouding the issue.
