“Big knife. Fake gun. Optimus Prime mask. Oh, yeah. I’m ready.”

“When I found out a 17-year-old defended herself I thought, ‘That’s fantastic,'” a representative of the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department said.

“My son was not a threat to him,” she said. “My son did not enter his home. He was given a death sentence.”

“The decision to not file charges on Keller was a simple application of Indiana law and should not be looked upon as condoning the behavior of either party,” Cooper said.
