Because, thanks to all the holiday hubbub, he needed the range time?

Let me guess, mom -- "he was a good boy".

Thanks samtheman.

Agreed.

Any hunter knows that when shooting a dangerous animal, you immediately chamber another shell and often use it.

The robber should get the Darwin Award...”the alleged getaway driver told her(the robber’s mother) that her son’s gun “wasn’t even loaded,”

[tired&retired]

The mother is a widow.

Wonder how her husband died?

[jazusamo]

Mom only has herself to blame.

Son was bipolar, stopped taking his meds several weeks earlier and started coming home with plenty of money.

Did she think he was getting the money from the tooth faerie?

“Why did he shoot him 5 times?”

Because he just wouldn’t die.

Oh dear! Why did the man shoot the robber's mother???

[Crucial]

Because he didn’t want get killed himself and you don’t know how many it’s going to take.

“I was too busy shooting to do math”.

“I know what you’re thinking: ‘Did he fire six shots or only five?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself.”

[AppyPappy]

If I am blowing away some knuckle-dragging, hayseed, meth-addled, hillbilly buckra, I don’t have time to take a dam math quiz on the subject. I’m firing until the gun tells me to quit and if he is still twitching, I’m switching to garden implements upside his toothless head.

It was an exceedingly poorly written headline. I was trying to figure out why the mother of the armed robber was shot dead.

[GOPJ]

I have a better question, you stupid bitch: Why did you raise your foul brat to be an armed robber?

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

Because he only had 5 rounds?
What does it matter if he fired 1 or 10 times?
If he had a legally right to shoot the person he had the legal right.

Personal protection rule #1: Continue firing until the threat is neutralized."

[dp0622]

That’s a good enough reason! :)

[dp0622]

Wow. Well there’s one :)

Thanks :)

This is an easy answer. He’s got a gun and so it has to be assumed he’s willing to use it. So you have to make sure the gunman is completely incapacitated and unable to shoot and given the lethality of the weapons involved, death is almost the certain result.
