Sefner, thank you for posting this story. Actual examples are good.

I'd point out, though, that this wasn't actually a case of a justified self-defense shooting:

If the carjacker was attempting to flee, the immediate threat to the victim was over. The "jackee" may well have been charged even if he had hit the suspect and not shot anyone else.

But the basic point is the same: If you make the decision to shoot, justified or not, you are responsible for the results of your shooting.
