That is correct. The elderly man appears to have made a bad move.
Yep. Let the thug live to victimize someone else!
Yea, when someone is fleeing and presenting no direct threat to you, its not justifiable to shoot them, at least not in most states that I know of... Now if he was fleeing and shooting back at you, feel free to unload the clip into his torso.
The moral of the article is that if you’re going to shoot a perp, better kill him and if he didn’t have something that could be construed as a weapon, give him one.
