The bandit had a gun pointed at the citizen. The armed citizen could have emptied his weapon on the bandit and nobody else is in a position to suggest that he should have known he was no longer a threat after being shot twice in the leg.

The local DA and a jury will certainly be in a position to decide whether you acted legally or not.

Oh....”certainly”?

The conditions I described and you repeated, don’t put the DA or the jury in a position to decide anything with any more certainty than the information provided by the victim.
The victim is under no obligation to assert the armed threat ended with 2 shots to the leg.

“Your Honor, the gun was in his hand, not between his legs.”
