Law enforcement officials said Monday a fatal shooting outside the Branch House Tavern in Flowery Branch early Saturday morning was an act of self-defense. “At this point, everything that we are seeing, which is supported by all the evidence and the facts and circumstances, this appears to be a self-defense case,” Flowery Branch Police Chief David Spillers told The Times. “Everything is consistent, in terms of the physical evidence ... the witness statements, the video footage.”
