In Texas you can shoot an absconding criminal in the back, as they are running away, if you cannot stop them from stealing your stuff* otherwise.
So if the criminal is on a little old people scooter and you can easily run him down, no.
But if the criminal is a young strapping lad, and you have a sore toe, then fire away.
*You can also shoot people stealing other people’s stuff, too!
Yes, that was the whole issue for this case.

I think most of us (and most rational human beings) would want a neighbor like Mr. Horn, who says “Nope, you ain’t stealing from me, or my neighbors”.
