Shooting at the car in that situation with people all around it seems like a very reckless thing to do.

"Shooting at the car in that situation with people all around it seems like a very reckless thing to do."

As the driver was fleeing the scene probably in fear of his life this was attempted murder. He was no threat to those that shot at him and tried to kill him.

The protestors were the original threat. I saw some video and he did point an AK at the driver and other rioters were beating on the vehicle. The driver fired and killed the dude with the AK. He then most wisely speed away and was shot at by other rioters whom were the second threat from the rioters. If he had not he would have been likely killed.

This was a legal and good shoot. Those that fired at him as he fled should be charged with attempted murder.

Given the little we know at this time, I tend to agree.

More like revenge.

Unless he can somehow claim that he was using deadly force to protect his own life, or that of another specific individual.

Which he can’t.

Also, shooting at the car when not in jeopardy should be a criminal act. The driver acted in self-defense, the second person did not.
