That said, the biggest reason that this isn't one of those scenarios is because only one of the people involved were charged with a crime and prosecuted. Grosskreutz has no need to claim any sort of defence, because (thus far), he's innocent in this situation in the eyes of the law.

Yes. Self defence principles apply to defence of others and property. There are many scenarios where both parties might think they are acting justly and end up harming each other. Another good reason not to allow people to carry guns everywhere.
