Police Call Fatal Shooting Self Defense
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A confrontation that turned deadly Tuesday night near 34th Street and Euclid Avenue may have been a case of self defense, police said.

Investigators said Reginald Waxter Jr., 31, was shot and killed Tuesday night near the 3400 block of Euclid. Police said Waxter approached another man and pulled him out of his car. Waxter pulled out a gun and shot the man in his leg, but the man was able to return fire.

Officers said robbery might have been the motive, but they said the two men knew each other and had a history of personal conflict so there might have been other motives.

Waxter died a few hours later at a hospital.

Charges are not expected to be filed.

Catastrophic failure of victim selection program.
