“If you use deadly force it has to be reasonable under the circumstances,” said Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist, who sought charges against Tobin. “Generally speaking, in Washington you cannot use deadly force to stop a non-violent crime.”
Use deadly force only when your or another's life is threatened.
He made a poor choice and will spend hard time for it.

Not the law everywhere, but this was poor judgment that ended in tragedy.
A more accurate shot isn’t going to hurt. But you can’t fix stupid. The guy deserves prison just for being stupid. I am sure he will also be sued into oblivion.
Negligent homicide would seem more appropriate in this case.
extremely poor judgment.
When two people commit a felony, like armed robbery, and one of the perps is killed, the second perp is generally charged for the killing even though he did not do the killing directly. Why would the perp in this event, not be responsible for this killing?
Some states allow shooting fleeing criminals. Legal or not, you are responsible civilly or criminally for the damage/injury done by all your bullets fired.
He SHOULD be in jail. You never, NEVER bring deadly force to stop a property crime. And if a criminal is fleeing, LET HIM GO! You aren't the police.
Hey i live in BL Wa.. Bonney Lake is 15 miles from Tacoma..
In CCW courses they emphasize consideration of the actual threat and downrange implications. You hit it, you own it.
“Tobin was getting out of the shower and saw his Jeep leaving his driveway.”
Not to make light of a bad situation but... trying to hold onto the towel, maybe he wasn’t able to use 2 hands on the Glock.
Just stupid....assuming he has a phone....call it in....most cops live for that moment and respond quickly....
You get your car back intact (in most cases), bad guy arrested and you don’t go to jail...
My Father shot out the tires of a kid who had stolen his heart medication. Daddy was suspicious of him and counted his pills.
The kid made it about a mile on the flat tires before a deputy arrested him.
The deputy told Daddy that next time just phone them. That was the end of it.
This was in Walton County, FL. Of course this was in a rural area and no other people were endangered.
Have your stuff insured.
They come at you or a loved one, they go down.
Everyone needs to take a CHC class while in high school.

When using or storing a gun, always follow these NRA rules:
Know your target and what is beyond.
Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second.
I know it’s tempting but you shouldn’t shoot when they are running away. Even if they are running away with your stuff. You especially shouldn’t miss and send rounds into your neighbors house.
