The headline sounds misleading after reading the news. Still, not clear what actually caused the gun fire. Did the four thieves have guns? Or other weapons? Did they fire a the Walmart employees and good Samaritan? Either way, one thief is dead, three are missing, stolen car recovered, maybe even the stolen diapers? Sounds like a good day, even better once the other three are captured—dead or alive.
Yep. Not enough facts.
“What we have at this point is that the individual felt threatened — one of the suspects reached for something [and he] thought that it was a weapon or firearm,”
It says that one reached into the car and the guy with the gun in hand thought he was going for a gun. If he said nothing else and asked for an attorney he should be okay. The carjacking that preceded this won’t endear the dead guy to a jury. I saw Wl Mart-Florida and looked quickly to see which town. I know a vet with some unattended PTSD who has a Glock which he has used several times as a third party (never fired) to end altercations. I have watched D. go downhill and have worried he was going to shoot someone without the necessary prov. He was often at one of the local WalMarts and would pursue someone if he saw him stealing. He always carries.
