State Attorney Jack Campbell did not return a reporter's request to verify the deputy's statement.
Campbell told WCTV that the driver’s use of force was lawful under self-defense, and the passenger admitted to police that he had “put his hands” on the driver. The station reported the cab driver, who had just started carrying a gun the month before, became scared after the passenger became angry.
It's at least the second shooting to be ruled as self-defense this month.
