New Mexico State basketball player Mike Peake has been suspended over an incident in which he shot and killed an assailant, via The Post:

“Mike Peake, a junior forward on New Mexico State, got in an altercation at the school’s football game against rival New Mexico in October. When the schools played each other in basketball on New Mexico’s campus, Peake was ‘lured’ into what he thought would be sexual activity by a 17-year-old girl and ambushed by three men. Peake was attacked with a baseball bat and shot at while running away. He fired back, killing one of his assailants.”
