If this happened in my state LEO/ NON-LEO the questions will be:
- Did you fear for your life and the lives of others?
- Why?
If the shooter can answer these questions effectively with fact based evidence the rest of it likely will not matter.
Notes:
- The second robber never showed a gun. It does not mean he did not have one. He was a party to an armed robbery so odds were good he did have one.
- The analysis guy said it is unusual for a robber not to pull a gun. This is likely untrue. Lone actor bank robbers often do not show a gun because they don't want to start a panic. They know the bank tellers are trained to give them the money. They pass a note and wait calmly. They may or may not show a gun. They then leave calmly.
- Note that the shooter shot both suspects twice at close range with COM hits from what looked like a full size 9mm and that neither dropped and both were able to flee (and therefore still fight as well).
