AUSTIN (CBSNEWS.COM) — A U.S. Army sergeant says he's the person who shot and killed a Black Lives Matter protester in downtown Austin Saturday night and he did it in self-defense, according to the Dallas law firm representing him.

An attorney with Broden, Mickelsen, LLP said late Thursday that Sergeant Daniel Perry, an eight-year veteran, is the person who killed protester Garrett Foster.
