Interesting self-defense scenario.

Two women were sitting in a parked car in Las Vegas waiting to go to a party on Nov. 19. While they were waiting, a car parked directly in front of them. Three men got out with guns pointed at the women, yelling at them to get out of their car, the women told police.
One man pulled the woman in the driver's seat out of the car, got into the seat, and tried to drive. The woman told police that the car is push-to-start and the man appeared to have trouble getting it started.
He put his gun in his lap while he tried to start the car, and the woman said she grabbed it and ran away. Within seconds, a man tackled her from behind. She turned toward him and fired the gun at least once.
While on the ground, she said another one of the men started shooting at her, the report stated. She pushed the man who tackled her off her and ran as the other man continued to shoot at her. She said she hid in a nearby yard and heard someone yell out that his friend had been shot. She came out of hiding once the police arrived.
The man who was shot was pronounced dead at the scene, and police described the shooting as a case of self-defense in their report.
Police spoke with someone who knew the man who was shot. That person said he was hanging out with two friends, one of whom was identified as Morrison. Detectives investigated and identified Morrison as a suspect in the attempted carjacking based on cell phone GPS records.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's criminal apprehension team found Morrison on Friday and took him into custody. He declined to speak with detectives following his arrest, per the police report.
Police said three guns were found inside the apartment during the arrest, with ammunition in a Glock .45 matching ammunition in a gun found at the scene of the crime.
Another person was inside the apartment when Morrison was arrested, according to the report. That person told detectives he was in the car with Morrison during the carjacking.
