If you are going to own a firearm, you had better know what the laws are in your jurisdiction regarding the legal use of deadly force.

I cannot imagine any set of laws allowing a “finishing shot” of a wounded helpless criminal. Deadly force should only be used as a last resort because even if you are allowed to use deadly force under criminal laws, you might face civil claims that will make your life and your family's life hell. Still using deadly force to save your own life or that of someone you care about is a civil right in this country.

Thanks for the good advice, but it's irrelevant in this case.

The man is lying. The investigators will eventually release the whole story. This man would save his community a lot of time and trouble by hanging himself in prison.

Looks like he shot them from ambush and then coldly murdered them.

And a $1M+ insurance policy, as well as the names of at least 2 defense attorneys on retainer who have agreed to take your case in such a situation.
