Convicted Calif. sex offender shot, killed by alleged victim
The Associated Press
A northern Idaho man who was shot and killed by a woman he was attacking was a registered sex offender convicted in California, Bonner County Sheriff's Capt. John Valdez says.
A 34-year-old Clark Fork woman shot Christopher Michael Schmidt, 42, Tuesday night during a struggle after she gave him a ride home, Valdez said.
"He grabbed her and physically attacked her and told her she was coming with him," Valdez told the Spokesman-Review newspaper of Spokane, Wash. "There was a struggle and she couldn't overcome him. All the physical evidence matches what she says, all down the line."
The woman's name has not been released. Bonner County Prosecutor Phil Robinson said he was still reviewing police reports on the shooting but did not anticipate filing charges against her. Idaho law says people cannot be tried for murder when defending themselves against aggravated assault, rape, murder, robbery or "other heinous crimes."
