He tried to take the gun away AFTER the moron shot at the ground near his feet... the shooter is a murderer, period.
DA’s dirty in whatever town this was.
The shooter is the one who escalated every once of this situation.. hopefully one this mans kids will slit this cowards throat in the middle of the night years from now, and he will get the justice he deserves.

Please stay in Pennsylvania. We don’t need your opinions of Texas property defense law here.
Wow, you really are hard over in your personal but flawed opinion of the situation.
Recourse for a custody violation is for the court to pursue. Sorry, a court order for visitation means it is the court who is injured when one party does not comply, not just the emotional parent.
Example, dead beat dads still get their ordered visitation even though they are $10s of k in arrears. The mother is beholden to the court for redress, she cannot simply say “no visit until you pay up”.
The dead dad should’ve gone the lawful route, instead he died violating several TX laws concerning property, threat of unlawful force to say the least.
The shooter had every right to possess arms, and to go fetch one when dad decided to refuse to comply with the lawful rights of a property owner.
He provided the owner with the three tenets of justified use of (lethal) force.

I have to disagree:
The shooter was on his own property. The shooter shot his gun in his own home at the floor which should have been an adequate warning to the dead man. Instead of being warned he just got even madder. If the shooter loses the gun he might get shot. Once you try to disarm a guy with a gun he rightly fears for his life.
What idiot attacks a man with a gun in his own house?
The shooter had every legal right to protect his home and family from the intruder. Yes it was a domestic matter but the dead guy was an intruder once he entered the mans house (his porch) and forcibly removed the legal occupant (shooter) of the house.
DA’s are supposed to follow the law. It is very hard to get a conviction of someone who followed the law, the shooter followed the law. The dead man broke the law when he forcibly removed the shooter from his own home.
This was a sad shooting but perfectly justified and legal.
The moral of a story, tempers and guns don’t mix well.
