Tulsa Police say Friday's fatal shooting on Brookside may be self defense. It happened Friday night near 41st and Peoria near the Slo Ride bar.
Police say a motorcycle rider was being harassed by the driver of a pickup truck. The biker circled the block, then went inside the bar. Police say he then noticed the pickup had stopped in front of the bar. That's when detectives say one of the men in the truck got out and attacked the motorcyclist. Police say the motorcyclist then pulled a gun and shot him to death. TPD says the motorcyclist does have a weapons permit. It's still unclear if any charges will be filed. This is the 6th homicide of 2010.

This reporter says the biker went into the bar, the other reports say he didn't make it inside ?? Still think it was clearly Self Defense, guys in the truck should never have followed him an gotten out of their truck, they were clearly looking for trouble, and it seems they found it.

It goes to figure. I congratulate you yesterday on a very short story you managed to write with no errors, then you follow it up with this. Do you have an editor at Fox23 or not?

Guess you should beware of who you attack. Never know when your going to hit the guy carrying the gun.
