Just a random thought..
How is it ok for the two good guys to open fire on the suspect?
I am glad it worked out ok but anyone can say anything to anyone.
The rules in Texas say that you can come to the defense of another person if that other person is in mortal danger, as in danger of losing their life.
Looks like this was the case here.
Not only a random thought but a bit strange at that! Just what are you saying here - that robbers should not have to face anyone who might protect themselves? All in all, a really strange response for this thread. Even Jesus used a whip which was fairly potent at the time...today requires a bit more...
Who says they shot first or, if they did, that they didn’t fire defensively in fear of their lives when the robber first displayed his weapon?
Given that it is Colorado, they probably left to avoid “unnecessary entanglement with Imperial forces.”
Anyway, bad night for the robber; shot (probably multiple times), bitten by a German Shepard (again, probably multiple times), and caught with the stolen property on him. 0 for 3. Needs a new line of work after his extended recovery in jail/prison.

If the conditions were as stated, i.e. the first guy was robbed at gunpoint, the second two guys were perfectly legal under Texas law to chase the SOB down and shoot his sorry rear, up to and including killing him. See Texas Penal Code, Title 2, Chapter 9.
