I read the story and indicated my opinion is based solely on what’s in it.

So then I guess you missed this part:

Such a trajectory would appear to show that Lopez had only turned halfway to face Gelhaus by the time the first fatal shot was fired—in essence, that Lopez had no chance to see who was calling to him before he was struck with bullets.

“So then I guess you missed this part:”

No, I didn’t.

Had the kid began to turn to me w/weapon in hand, I would’ve fired.

Note, the article doesn’t say how FAST he turned. Was he slowly turning, putting his hands up as in “I surrender” or did he spin with weapon forward as in “Your gone sucka”.

Which is why I said:

“Not enough info in the linked story to make a call here, at least for me.”

What would you do?
