Oh, no? "...that she shot and killed Francis when he approached her..."
I have personal knowlege of a couple of instances in Cleveland where the approach was prelude to an attack. Cinci is not a whole lot different.
Generally, if one is going to attack you, one must approach you... snipers excluded, of course. Of course, if one is going to ask for change, one generally must approach you. If you wish to hold a conversation with me, you'll need to approach me.
If approaching me is grounds for me to shoot someone in self-defense... well, I just can't afford that much ammo, and I'll need to consider a hatchet, sword, or battery operated circular saw for self-defense.
