Not much different than charging the get away driver for the injury or deaths of others during a bank robbery.

Still, one would wish that the police officers would spend more time on the range.

The analogy only begins to work if they are also charging the police.

Good chance he will be a rich unarmed man if he gets the proper legal rep

One thing missing is criminal intent. The getaway driver knows he's part of a crime. The mentally disturbed person, at least in this case, isn't consciously aware that he's committing a crime.

Except the unarmed man was the intended victim... So you try to murder me and I dodge the bullet and you kills someone else and I’m at fault for dodging?
