Police Chief Matt Messer said in the report that investigation determined the shooting was in self-defense.

No charges will be filed against a man who shot an assault suspect on Feb. 9 at Columbia One Stop, 405 Columbia Ave.

In the Holland city manager's report for the week of Feb. 18, it was reported that the Ottawa County Prosecutor's office has decided not bring charges against the 43-year-old man, who legally possessed the handgun used in the incident and had a valid concealed pistol license. Police Chief Matt Messer said in the report that investigation determined the shooting was in self-defense.

According to Le Jansen, owner of One Stop, an employee's 29-year-old ex-boyfriend entered the store, started an argument with the 39-year-old woman and began assaulting her when a customer walked in.

The 43-year-old male customer attempted to intervene, and the ex-boyfriend then began to assault the customer. The customer then shot the man, Jansen said.

Video footage from the convenience store backed up the accounts of the store owner and shooter, police said. Police said the video, which has not been released, shows the victim to be visibly afraid, and at one point tries to escape.

The suspect violently punched the victim several times and threw her down to the ground, and it is at that point the 43-year-old customer arrived and attempted to intervene, police said. The suspect then turned and violently attacked the customer. The customer indicated that the suspect tried to grab his gun, and he then shot the suspect twice.

The suspect was taken to Holland Hospital in critical condition, and was later transferred to Spectrum Health.

Police said the female victim indicated that "she feared the suspect would beat her to death if the customer did not intervene," which she reiterated to WOOD-TV 8.

"God sent me an angel, because I know he would have killed me," she told the station.

Police will not confirm the identity of the assault suspect, though WOOD-TV 8 identified him as Tramell Jackson.

Jackson had two warrants out for his arrest prior to the incident: breaking and entering, which was a first-degree home invasion that involved assault, and a domestic violence warrant. He also has previous violations including assault, resisting police and parole violations.

Jackson is currently in the Ottawa County Jail and has been arraigned on the warrant charges. His bond has been set at $50,000. A pretrial hearing for the domestic violence charge and a probable cause conference on the home invasion charge have both been scheduled for Feb. 24.

No charges have been issued for Jackson in relation to the Columbia One Stop incident. The Ottawa County Prosecutor's office could not be reached for comment.
