Where in the article did it say they were fleeing the scene? If you could be specific.
There were two articles and I had read them both, previously. One article has them “fleeing the scene”, this one has the lawyer saying, “they jumped and he shot them”. Either way, according to Texas Law, what he did appears to be legal.
I was speaking in terms of my personal opinion, rather than Texas Law. Ultimately, Mr. Horn will answer to greater than Texas Law or me. Only Mr. Horn knows for sure, unless there are witnesses that the articles didn’t mention. Mr. Horn could have stayed in his home and considered his own safety as well as whether or not a bag of bobbles was worth killing two men.
