Rock, who was armed with a .45 caliber handgun, went outside to investigate and found a Daniel S. Robertson beating his girlfriend, Cristy Vasilakos, 40, with a metal object, deputies said.
Rock yelled at Robertson to stop, but when he turned and began attacking Rock, she fired the gun at least once, deputies said.

So the question is, should this intervention have taken place? He probably wasn't going to kill her before the police could arrive...if only Rock had dialed 911 instead of 1-911.

1. So far it clearly sounds like a case of self defense.

If the forensics bears out the 2 women's story, and I've no doubt it will, then this will be ruled a case of self defense and a justifiable homicide.

Good shooting on Vicky Rock's part.

2. I'm fine with it.

Don't want to be shot? Then don't beat on people with a metal bar.
