It seemed to me that when the pusher began to back off, the guy on the ground should have held his fire.

Just because the police at the scene determined that this was a justified shooting it doesn't mean that criminal charges won't be pressed. A prosecutor may look at the video and have a different conclusion.

This is a tough one. It almost appears to me that the guy that did the shooting was looking to shoot someone. Based on the statements made by the store owner, he has caused problems before. It seems that he was looking for trouble.

The guy who pushed him was in the wrong to put his hands on him, but once he pushed him down, he seemed to back off. One an attacker is retreating, it seems to me that shooting is justified. I think a lot has to do with the timing and how fast things happened.

Those of us that carry have been trained that you shouldn't draw your gun unless you intend to shoot. A lot of people seem to think that means if you draw your gun, you have to shoot. The way I see it is that if you show your gun and the threat ends, you don't have a right to shoot.

"One an attacker is retreating, it seems to me that shooting is justified."

Is that what you meant to type??
