Jonathan Cooper Interview: In Defense of Others

On the heels of a family shooting at a local children’s hospital, Jonathan Cooper answers some questions from 10News in Knoxville.

The 17 year old son of a man who was assaulting a woman at that children’s hospital, shot his father in the leg after giving him multiple warnings to stop the assault. The father was charged with domestic assault and aggravated kidnapping. Jonathan Cooper believes the minor will likely not face charges.
