What if the shooter did not see this as revenge or punishment, but as defense of the innocent?

I do not support shooting abortionists, but you are using Biblical verses that do not apply.

We can have our opinion on whether this verse applies. You are making assumptions about the shooter’s motives, as am I. If my assumptions are correct, and they very well could be, then that verse perfectly applies. He was motivated by *something* to walk into a church and kill Tiller. I think odds are that he thought he was the ‘hand of God’ or the ‘vengeance of God.’ You’re suggesting that he was thinking more subtlely about ‘defense’ of the specific babies that Tiller was murdering.

I wish that shooter been even more subtle and sophisticated in his thinking to understand how many more thousands of babies he just condemned by setting back the pro-life movement in the minds of our youth.

But we will labor on and teach the young to grow up big and strong and to honor God.

Likely the latter.
