1st degree attempted murder sounds like... robbed within 3 hours and then is packin'
that's premeditated.
Well ... too bad Wes Lane still isn't in office. I remember a Trooper who did that and Wes ruled it a good shoot. I typically have a bit of a problem with anybody shooting somebody whose running away from them ... unless they happen to be carrying off a kid or something like that. That said, I also seem to recall a scuffle and seems the suspect told her he was gonna go get a knife or something outta the car and kill her so maybe her shooting him was justified after all.
Like all shootings we discuss here details are important.
I'm like you though ... I wanna know more about what happened before I go spouting my mouth off.
On the not shooting when somenone is running away, especially if you are in a building or around a car, how do you know they arn't just moving to cover? Maybe its just me, but Im not gonna give a crimminal the benefit of the doubt.

That's one of those VERY SUBJECTIVE things that is completely specific to the incident. If someone is running away from my house across the front yard I can assure you there is no cover for them to run to that they can get to before I can shut the front door and call the police.
I have also freely admitted many times that there is NOTHING in my house (except GC) that is worth shooting somebody over.
Same thing with a car ... completely depends on what is around us at the time.
Still, I think it would be difficult for me to pull the trigger on someone running away ... More likely I will be doing all I can to remove myself from the scene just as quickly as I can.
But I do believe this with all my heart ... If I can NOT shoot someone and remove myself from a situation, I will choose that path EVERY SINGLE TIME. God forbid I ever have to take a life in order to save myself or someone I love. Even if it is a righteous shoot in God's and everyone else's eyes, my ability to overthink and analyze a situation ad nauseum after it has occurred will be a death sentence for me, in its own right.
WOW, you might get banned for this post, respect for human life, logic, not saying things like everyone that steals should be shot anyways it will make our society better. I mean this type of post just doesn't fit in with usual OSA talk...
