D was in fear of his life, not knowing if C would then turn their weapon on D next. But then again, it's Seattle.

ABC & D should have got the F out of there

Give me a while I have a few more

Oh, this one's easy.
A & B accosted and threatened C. C feared for his life and shot A & B then tried to run from the scene to call police. While attempting to reach a safe distance, and no longer threatening anyone, C was intercepted by D. D, under no threat to his own personal safety then went all trigger happy on C, inflicting mortal wounds.
The prosecution rests!

You forgot that D was stockpiling 15 rounds of ammunition in his high capacity 9mm fully semi automatic stealth assault pistol.

Stay in your lane.

The age old question of should you get involved.
I would not be surprised if the good guy gets charged with murder.

Stupid alphabet soup!

 

[1775usmc]

It sounds heartless. But this is why I won't involve myself in anything that doesn't directly involve me or a loved one.

Unless it's involving a child. Otherwise I clean my hands of it and run. I'm not trying to be a hero.

D - C = -(A + B)? I hate math. Too confusing.

 

[TTSX]

D - C = -(A + B)? I hate math. Too confusing.

A+B+C=-(A+B)/(D-C+(AB))..... Squared

The age old question of should you get involved.
I would not be surprised if the good guy gets charged with murder.

Also brings up the question of Good Samaritan laws. Regardless D will likely be raked over the coals by the courts. And anti-2a people will try using this as justification for taking away more rights.

 

[1775usmc]

Also brings up the question of Good Samaritan laws and whether they apply, or if they actually protect good Samaritans. Regardless, D is likely to get raked across the coals by the courts.

Does "Good Samaritan" Laws cover use of deadly force in the protection of another stranger? I know it covers the liability of you rendering first aid…..

Serious question. I'll need to research this now as I am curious.

Well, follow the case and see what happens.

No use trying to invent victimhood. That's what those other people do.

Unless there's more info available than what was presented in the OP, it's impossible to know that there is actually a "good guy" in this story.
I'm not convinced that having a CCP entitles you to involve yourself in ANY situation, unless your own safety is threatened.
Might also be interesting to know how many firearms were recovered at the scene.

Actually it was C - Bag and now he is Deadbag ......

They dont.
Good Samaratin laws typically only cover medical interventions on strangers, like giving cpr.
I dont know what Wa. has for a GS law but doubt any state allows use of force to protect others.
