OK, but, but, those targets didn’t have guns, so the defender should only fight back with an identical weapon. And what if it was only a plastic toy knife...and the alleged attacker was on his way to a Bible study between his medical school classes...really turning his life around from the thuggish lifestyle demonstrated by the minutes old video of him strong arm robbing a convenience store.
Over reacting for sure.
disparity of force covers you b/c it’s a surprise attack.
