Man arrested after police say he shot at fleeing game room robber.
You can read the whole article in the Galveston Daily News.
I don't know all the facts but it's not what I understand the law to be.

If a perpertrator is running away he/she is no longer immediate threat
don't shoot call the cops And whatever you do don't chase after him/her
chasing will make it worse :rules:
