Shooting of Japanese student did happen

I got this quote from the site below, which is a paper by Dr Lott on the
benefits of widespread gun ownership:

While cases like the 1992 incident where a Japanese student was shot on
his way to a Halloween party in Louisiana make international headlines
(Japan Economic Newswire, May 23, 1993 and Sharn, USA TODAY, September
9, 1993), they are rare.
*******************************************
Me again; this shooting was deemed lawful by a Louisiana court, for
reasons which I fail to grasp (please note, I'm
pro-gun; this just seemed a manslaughter
level offense based on what I read of the case).
