did he mean to keep shooting and run short of ammo so he retrieved another weapon?
what was the round count in the original weapon?
I'm sorry but I can't find good info, maybe you can link?
do you want a prediction?
NOT GUILTY or charges dropped
short of more info I can only offer my views, like anyone wants that LOL
I say once someone initiates an act of aggression sufficient to warrant deadly force, the game isn't over until someone has died (hello? deadly force?)
all those coward PC concealed carry instructors and others who
"shoot to end the fight" are full of crap and are responsible for this
you shoot to kill
if you don't want to kill them then you have no business using a firearm
they are the machinery of death plain and simple

Here's a link to the story on the drudge report
The page begins with this:
A little before 6:00 p.m., last Tuesday, two armed men rushed into the Reliable Discount Pharmacy in Oklahoma City, and demanded money and drugs. The store had been robbed two years earlier, a robbery in which the store's employees had been forced into a back room and severely beaten.Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode.

Thanked: 132...i dont know the whole story, but i do know that some people, when their life is threatened or under extremely,dangerous situations, black out and dont remember or cant control what they are doing. Possibly a berserker???
I know i did this once in a high school fight...came to, trying to stuff a gangmembers head in a soda machine. This thing is very scary and i feel for the defender, if that is what happened.
Heh...he could just be crazy too...we will only know his side now.

I read a bit about the case before. The kid he shot was hit in the head, and was laying on the floor unconcious. OUT. THe other robber ran out, and the guy chased him...but did not catch him. Returned tot he store, where the kid was STILL UNCONCIOUS. Then, the pharmacist grabbed another gun from behind the counter (as far as I'm concerned, this point doesn't matter, it could have been the same gun), and fired five mroe times into the unconcious robber.
I'll be interested to see how it plays out.

Shooting a person in self defense? Yes. Absolutely. They were shooting at him, shooting back is perfectly acceptable.
But ONCE YOU ARE SAFE, it is no longer self defense. Unconscious=no danger, no danger= murder.
Ersland grabbed the semi-automatic Kel-Tec .380 in his pocket.
"And that's when I started defending myself," he said. "The first shot got him in the head, and that slowed him down so I could get my other gun."

You need to be put into a similar life threatening situation, your primal survival instincts may take over, fight or flight, rational thought is not part of the equation once the violence starts, its kill or be killed , and it wont stop until the adrenaline says so. I doubt if vengence had anything to do with it and if it did so what? The crook forfieted his right to life when he tried to deny another their right to life.It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. Twain

Thanked: 586After he shot the four kids for brandishing a screwdriver and demending five dollars, Bernhard Goetz walked over to Darrel Cabey who was lying on the floor wounded and said, "You don't look so bad, have another." And he shot Darrel again, severing his spinal cord leaving him paralyzed for life. Goetz was hailed as a hero and aquitted of all charges except an illegal weapon charge for which he served a third of a year.
I tend to believe that there must be a clear and immediate threat to justify use of deadly force in self defense. I don't believe a kid lying unconscious on the deck bleeding poses any credible threat.
