The headline of that story says nothing about Fortson holding a gun. Also the article only has one sentence about the gun: "Duran said that Fortson took a slight step forward and tilted his arm, holding a gun. He claims that non-threatening gesture and alleged look of aggression justified the use of deadly force."
The rest of the article denigrates Duran and presumes Fortson's skin color was somehow involved. Phoooooey!! Fortson answered the door holding a gun 'tilted' like in the movies and stepped forward. It's little wonder he's room temperature now. Oh yeah and PLEEEEEAse, no PIX of him looking like some kind of innocent graduate...."We're onto that bullshit.
