It’s easy to shoot “too many times” in that time stopping, panic driven, high adrenaline moment. 1 shot or 10 shots, makes no difference if it was justified unless the douchebag was trying to surrender. In this case, he didn’t have time before he was dead.
Honestly hope that all the people yapping about what "he should have done" or "he didn't stop and asses after each shot" or "he's a vigilante".... have someone attack them or their loved ones with a firearm and see/feel the level of fear and adrenalin that kicks in when it happens... then tell me all about what you did .....hahahahahhaa..... curled up in a ball and died, pissed your pants, stood there (like most people) and fail to realize you're about to be killed.....
I'm pretty sure that I would have sat there and tried not to piss or crap my pants, said a prayer of thanks for not being shot or anyone else....
but if I felt in anyway this clown was going to shoot that weapon either inside or outside killing or hurting someone on the way of getting away, I would have fumbled for a grip on my weapon, tried to find the front site and put it in the middle of the person and pull the trigger until he stopped any movement... and after that would have try to calm down and shut up....probably would have sat or laid down with my hands visible and asked to go to the hospital if I even stayed around for LEOs.
