Shooting the perp FIVE TIMES after he was down and no longer a threat is not just a mistake, it is murder. Concealed carry classes teach that you can shoot until you are no longer threatened.
I guess that's why the SWAT team in Arizona shot at the Marine trying to protect his house 60 times, hitting him at least 22 times according to news reports. Somehow I doubt that they'll be charged with murder.
Oh, and then they kept the ambulance guys waiting outside for over an hour -- presumably since there might be a threat inside. I guess they were "in fear of their lives".
So somehow it is wrong and first degree murder for the pharmacist, in the middle of an armed robbery he didn't start, to fire more shots than needed. But when the police, as part of a planned operation do the same thing its OK. Maybe the police should attend those concealed carry classes.
From what I remember about this case, the pharmacist saw the guy still reaching for something on the ground or trying to get up after he was telling him to stay down. The camera in the store did not have an angle to show the criminal on the floor.
I would have believed the store owner that the criminal was still a threat.
