I believe it is the same in PA...however, in the case mentioned here, the perps were FLEEING (in retreat, leaving the property) and the homeowner fired as they were running away. Big difference.

That is the spin this reporter is putting on it. We do not know for sure if they pointed a gun at him while running or not. It also shows bias on the part of the reporter to say that he shot at “fleeing teens”. More correctly, he should have said “running robbers”. There was no way for the armed citizen to know the ages of the robbers.
