Washington State Law: RCW 9A.16.050
Homicide—By other person—When justifiable.
Homicide is also justifiable when committed either:
(1) In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister, or of any other person in his or her presence or company, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished; or
(2) In the actual resistance of an attempt to commit a felony upon the slayer, in his or her presence, or upon or in a dwelling, or other place of abode, in which he or she is.

This was a good shooting. Heck - they only shot at the tires. The theft of the tools was enough to make it a felony, but then hitting the guy with the car is assault and personal injury.
Of course some DA would love to try to make their name on prosecuting these upstanding folks trying to stop a crime.
And cops don’t like vigilantes
Once the crooks plowed into the guy with their car, they were FAIR GAME. They’re damn lucky to still be alive.
When cops can be there in minutes.............
Might want to let an attorney handle this.
Funny. Nary a peep about the identity of the perps.
