This was not a simple property crime. IMO, the father actually showed great restraint by verballychallenging the perps before dropping them.
To begin with, there was justifcation to believe that greivous bodily harm would be done to employees, based on the actions during previous robberies. Couple this with the fact that the perp was taking aim at people, and screaming that he will shoot them. This alone is reasonable justification for the shooting.
After being challenged, the now-deceaseed dirtbag turned and took aim at the father. I'm sorry, but if someone takes aim at me with a shotgun, they're winding up with at least two new holes in their body.
Yes, a man is dead, but better him than someone else. He first made the concientious decision to commit armed robbery. He then made the decision to threaten the lives of innocents. Finally, he made the decision to turn his weapon on someone who was capable of defending himself.
