A federal agent from Arlington charged with murder in Hawaii fatally shot a man at a McDonald’s restaurant in self-defense, according to the agent’s lawyer. An attorney for 27-year-old Christopher Deedy told the Associated Press that 23-year-old Kollin Elderts “was harassing and bullying others” in the altercation that led to Elderts’ Nov. 5 shooting death.
Deedy, an agent for the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, was working at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
Authorities said Elderts was shot when he, Deedy and two others got into an argument at a Waikiki McDonald’s.
Defense attorney Brook Hart told the AP that Deedy was defending himself from a man “who aggressed on him.”
Deedy is charged with second-degree murder.
