A passerby who shot and killed a man who was attacking a Florida sheriff’s deputy will not face criminal charges.Bardes had pulled over Strother for speeding. Strother, 53, then allegedly attacked Bardes, pinning him to the road and punching him repeatedly.
Russell, who has a concealed weapons license, was armed when he emerged from his vehicle to help. Bardes, apparently noticing Russell had a gun, instructed him to shoot Strother. After repeatedly warning Strother to get off Barnes, Russell shot him three times in the neck, killing him.Louis Strother, brother of the deceased, offered a dissenting view, which The Washington Post noted. “They are calling him a good Samaritan?” he asked. “Was my brother armed?”
