(WSYR-TV) Demetrius Jackson, the man killed in the Lodi Street shooting on Tuesday, was in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun while outside of 1808 Lodi Street, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.
Jackson threatened multiple people at the location and fired the loaded handgun in the direction of those people, officials said.
Another man, who was on scene and in possession of a 9mm handgun returned fire striking and killing Jackson, Fitzpatrick said.
According to Fitzpatrick, this man has a valid pistol permit for the 9mm handgun.
(Excerpt)
As noted later in the story, the man who shot Jackson has received threats and suffered property damage in what appears to be retaliation.

you would know that drawing a weapon is the last choice. You engage when there is no other choice not because you have nothing better to do today.
