Re: Do not shoot truck rustlers

I notice it said he was taken into custody but no charges yet. Could be they just need to conduct an investigation. Questions that could need answering before deciding to let the guy loose could include:

1. Was the guy carrying legally?
2. Was it actually his truck being stolen?
3. Did the woman go with him willingly with intent to steal the truck, or was she fleeing out of fear while he was distracted?
4. Did the shooting recklessly endanger others, especially given that the thief ran the red light and caused the accident because she was fleeing gunfire?
5. Does the man's use of deadly force meet the provision of law that states the actor must believe he cannot recover his property any other way?

If everything is legit, it seems pretty clear that the law would support his use of deadly force to stop theft during the night time, but there are plently of questions that need answering before making that call. Detainment seems warranted IMO.
