he’s “not proud” he did so — but he hopes it “helps in the end.”

It will help, in the end, to result in a successful self-defense verdict.

Arming yourself and then chasing down an unarmed man and confronting him with lethal force is NOT self-defense.

I agree completely.

Armed man at left of screen, runner at right who suddenly cuts left in front of truck and rushes guy carrying gun, pushing him off to the left; looks like action appears offscreen but blast from gun is seen.

Looks like self-defense to me.

‘It will help, in the end, to result in a successful self-defense verdict.’

depends on what counts are brought against them; self defense isn’t going to pertain to a reckless conduct charge; these two had to know that their actions of tracking the guy down, and then emerging from the car with a drawn gun, could result in the tragedy that did result...as a matter of fact, the charge could easily be upped to ‘aggravated assault’ which is the act of placing another person in reasonable apprehension of immediately receiving a violent injury by using a deadly weapon, in which case a stacked charge of possession of a firearm while committing a crime is usually appended...

these two could be looking at a rather lengthy prison term...
