A man who pulled a gun and pointed it at Black Lives Matter protesters during a fistfight in front of the Florida Historic Capitol building Saturday evening will not face charges.
After more than 16 hours of silence following the incident, the city of Tallahassee said in a release Sunday afternoon that the Tallahassee Police Department worked with the State Attorney's Office to review what happened during the tense moment that developed after punches were thrown.
"The evidence confirmed the physical altercation between numerous protesters and that the individual was knocked to the ground and under attack before lawfully defending himself," the release said. "TPD confirmed that the individual with the gun was lawfully carrying a concealed weapon as a license holder."
