The storyline leading into this discussion suggests she plugged him at very close range. Your pictures have her using a pistol to shoot through her window across the maneuvering area at a large gas station and hitting him just so.
Good shot!
It's the law in most states and probably Texas as well. You would do well to know that so that you don't shoot someone coming up to your car after an accident???
Depends on the state and the circumstances. Time of day might even make a difference.
WE ARE CURRENTLY HAviNG An overflight by a formation of jet fighters at low altitude ~ very unusual.
What does Allstate advise one to do after an accident????
Exchange insurance information, refuse to exchange insurance information, shoot the person requesting insurance information, or what???

Sorry Uncle Chip
They said report it to the cops. They will then shoot the dogs and take the names I suppose.
One incident doesn’t a pattern make. It may happen, but it’s not exactly common.
First a jet fighter squadron, then a helicopter squadron, then an osprey just flew through ~ so somebody at the Pentagon is doing an airshow

“Stand your ground” does not mean “shoot anything that moves”
This woman should be charged with murder
She shot THROUGH the car window. So there was NO threat. He may even have been yelling at her... but MUCH LESS a danger than if he had, oh... I dunno... dropped her on the ground with a sucker punch and sat on top of her bashing her head into the ground.
No he didn't.
His girlfriend, who was notified of his death via "social media", said that she thought he was going over to exchange insurance information.
She wasn't there.
Another article says that a witness (co-worker) says he was going to exchange insurance information.
However, that article also says there was a third witness who confirms the story that he was acting aggressively.
There is a lot of something on that website, but what it is I’m not entirely sure. I see a damaged window, but that could have been her car, or the car that was hit by the ricochet. I don’t believe it says.
In fact, I’m not even sure that it was a ricochet, rather than the bullet passing through the decedent, more likely since only one (?) bullet was believed fired.
Bottom line: I’m reserving some judgment here until the police have their say.
I agree completely.
Not at all surprising she shot the guy if he came all the way to her window!

they had the accident, on the road.
there was no “road rage” there.
(logically, that would have occurred, first, and immediately)
instead, they simply, calmly moved to the gas station.
to exchange insurance information.
...as his passenger SAID, he went over to her,
to do that.
...and she shot him through the window.
in a crowded gas station, with witnesses nearby.

cold-blooded murder. of a young father with 2 children.
Under the Texas law? Pretty much. She had no obligation to retreat and was justified in using any force she thought necessary against someone she believed was trying to illegally enter her house, car, or workplace.
Yes, forgiveness is very difficult. I had a real challenge to forgive an adoptive mother who was both alcoholic and paranoid and used me as her scapegoat for everything she didn’t like about her life.
The fact is we cannot do it on our own, we must have the Lord’s help. The secret is in asking God to first make us willing to forgive; that change of heart is a work only He can do.
God bless.

But his co-worker was and his picture is here:
