If I'm not mistaken, that's a NC DOT truck. I doubt the State allows their crews to carry weapons while working.
Maybe we are all missing the point.
Maybe he should not have been playing cop.
Had he killed the car jacker and survived, he would have been charged, unless there is some evidence that he saved the life of another.
“Maybe he should not have been playing cop.”
That is a separate issue. I personally would not shoot someone for a property crime. Too much liability. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the murderer’s defense council attempts a self defense plea. IMO that’s not valid.
