Holding a cellphone, Boek raised his hand and said: 'You know I got a pistol? You want me to f****** shooting you?'

However, 38-year-old Westlake, is a licensed armed security guard who holds a concealed weapons permit and who had just completed training to be a police officer.

He fired once which killed Boek as his passenger screams 'oh my god'.

'He ran me off road, jumped out of his vehicle,' Westlake said calmly in the 911 call. 'I couldn't get away.'
The brief encounter was a 'classic stand your ground case,' Sheriff Grady Judd said.

If he couldn't get away, it isn't a SYG case at all, but simple self defense.

According to news reports, he's okay for now on the legal front. Is Uber going to give him a pass on his employment with them since he's a licensed security guard and has completed police training? :roll:
