A deadly shooting Wednesday in a southwest Bakersfield apartment was deemed self-defense.
Tremelle Spain, 23, was shot multiple times by the resident.
Police said Thursday that Spain and 24-year-old Semaj Douglas were allegedly armed with guns when they busted into the apartment to commit robbery. The resident grabbed a gun himself and shot at both men, hitting Spain but missing Douglas.
Douglas ran away but was later caught by police. Spain died at Kern Medical Center less than an hour after the shooting...
