Whether the shooting was justified isn't my role to determine. However, the sheer stupidity of folks to leave accident scenes and flee from the law enforcement officers is just incomprehensible on rational analyses.

A driver of a red Dodge SUV flagged down the pickup to say someone was hanging on to the truck. The pickup stopped, the victim let go and pickup left the scene. The victim then attempted to get into the Dodge SUV while two adults and three children inside the vehicle tried to prevent him from getting in. At some point, the driver took out a gun and started to hit the victim over the head. When that didn't work the driver fired two shots into the victim to stop him. The victim was transported to the hospital where he later died. The five people in the SUV remained at the scene and cooperated with police officers. The incident is being considered as self-defense and no arrests have been made.

Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

I travel that intersection fairly regularly. I don't know what I'd do if I were the guy in the pickup truck. I'm not sure I would have realized it was happening, while it was happening. I might have said, "wait, were those guys just shooting at each other, here in the middle of the street?"
