The first shots were very much justified and heroic.
The last shot, at least, was a guarantee of execution.
Given the situation and the former and the state where this occurred, leniency will likely rightly be applied.
But Scot free? No, as it shouldn’t be.

It’s in the city of Houston. I wouldn’t expect reasonable judgments out of their DA’s for a white on black shooting where the black guy had a toy gun. Lots of room to run at trial with those facts.
The last shot looks really bad though.
Regardless of how a jury rules, he's not going to be getting of 'scot free'. The system itself makes sure of that to make sure as few people as possible are willing to defend themselves and others. At minimum, he's out $25k merely for taking out the trash and doing society a favor.
I want the shooter given the key to the city and a Congressional Medal of Freedom.
