Yes the shooter was several feet away but had been forcibly removed from his own home (his porch) and forced into the front yard with the assailant occupying the house (porch) . Now we are in the Castle doctrine, there is almost no proscription of shooting someone once they forcibly enter your house.
I suspect the dead guy didn’t realize he would actually be shot, his temper got the better of him but that does not take away the shooters right to protect himself and his home. it’s a sad story. Had the dead guy gotten a little anger management perhaps he would still be alive.
I am not making a moral view only what is legal. Had it been me I likely would have simply gathered my family into the house and locked the door. I hate to see someone killed even someone who deserves it.
