What hes initially charged with A D felony reckless endangerment requires a depraved indifference to human life, creating a risk that someones going to die. Shooting into a lawn doesnt create a risk of anybody dying, Lewis said.
Grier said he knew Nassau County Police employ the hi-tech ShotSpotter technology in his area and that the shooting would bring police in minutes. Cops told Guzman he was very cooperative.
Grier also said he was afraid the gang outside his house was the dreaded MS-13. And Nassau County Police Lt. Andrew Mulraine, head of the gang unit, said MS-13 has 2,000 members in the county.
Theyre probably the most organized. They almost have a military hierarchy within the gang, so they are the most organized gang we encounter on a daily basis, Mulraine said.
You may think a person has the right to defend their home. But the law says you can only use physical force to deter physical force. Grier said he never saw anyone pull out a gun, so a court would have to decide on firing the gun.
Police determined Grier had the gun legally. He has no criminal record. And so he was not charged for the weapon.
