Description
The record reflects that on the morning of August 19, 1974, the deceased, Alma Owens, entered the appellants apartment, where she was shot by appellant. According to an eyewitness, the victim then rushed out of the apartment, followed by the appellant, who fired several more times. The police were summoned and the appellant arrested at the scene. He voluntarily turned over a small caliber pistol to the investigating officers. Robert Reed testified that he was the manager of the apartment complex where the appellant lived and that several months prior to the shooting the appellant had complained to him that the deceased wanted to kill him. The appellant testified in his own behalf and admitted shooting Alma Owens. He testified that the victim on numerous occasions had threatened his life and stated that she would have him killed or kill him herself. The appellant testified that the victim had told him previously that she would kill him on the day of the shooting. He also stated that on the day of the shooting he had seen the deceased with a gun. He related that she came into his apartment uninvited, that he believed the deceased had a weapon, that he had no place to retreat, and that he was acting to protect his own life when he shot and killed the deceased.
