Yes. This happened here before in Florida.

Chief Chitwood said no one can compare that self-defense claim to the strange affair of Leonard Murphy and Terrance Gatlin. According to police records, in August, 2010, the two met for an alleged drug deal. The reports say Mr. Gatlin met with Mr. Murphy on the pretense of selling him more than $2,000 worth of prescription drugs. He then tried to rob Mr. Murphy, who shot him thrice.
Mr. Murphy had a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon, and claimed self-defense. He wasn't charged in the shooting.
"Under the self-defense claim, they are now out buying pills, take out their .357s and shoot their dealer," he said. "He got 'self defense' even though they were in the commission of a felony."
Records show that a Leonard Raynard Murphy was arrested in July, 2009, on charges of aggravated battery with a firearm and shooting into an occupied vehicle.
The chief said Daytona Beach Police wanted to arrest Mr. Murphy after he shot Mr. Gatlin - the State Attorney's office said otherwise.
"I've seen cases where we believed we had probable cause to arrest," he said, "and they said, 'Yeah, uh, we're not going to prosecute.'"
