A self defense case is dominating the news in Nice, France, along with protest in support of the shooter.

Stephan Turk has been charged with murder.

A lot of the finite details of the shooting are not clear. Anthony Asli sister said the gun Anthony was using to commit the robbery was fake. How would she know that?
