🚨 Defensive Shooting at Wyoming Campsite After Drunken Driving Dispute Turns Violent 🚨
On July 5, a camping trip in Natrona County, WY nearly turned deadly when an intoxicated man attempted to drive away and was stopped by fellow campers. The confrontation escalated when the drunk individual retrieved a rifle and pointed it at one of the others. Fearing for his life, the targeted camper drew a handgun and fired, hitting the armed man in the leg. Unfortunately, a female bystander was also struck in the leg.
Both injured individuals were hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The shooter was detained and later released after deputies determined he acted in self-defense.
This incident is a powerful reminder that alcohol and fi****ms do not mix—and that trying to stop someone from driving drunk can quickly become a high-risk situation.
🧠 Self-defense takeaway: Always be aware of your surroundings, and if alcohol is involved, tensions can escalate fast. Responsible gun ownership includes knowing when—and when not—to draw your firearm.
