Thank God for sheep dogs. People go nuts like this in Indiana also. All the more reason to carry.
I would suggest shooting him at least three times, and if he moves again, give the rest and reload.
I remember a year or two ago someone went crazy attacking people near the Indianapolis city county building.
Either case, armed citizen is much closer than police. I hope I would do as well.
Probably justifiable, likely not justified, unless he renews his attack.
In the video it is uncertain, but looks as though the citizen shoots while the assailant is attempting to retreat. Deadly force i only justified while in imminent danger, once the attacker breaks contact and retires deadly force is no longer justified. However non lethal force could be used to keep a felon from fleeing. I believe I saw a bat in the crowd, I think that a blow to the legs could be effective.
I would usually agree about the retreating felon thing. But, in the context of the video - after he used his car as a weapon, used the chopping blade up close, then threw it at the civilian shooter - a strong argument could be made that baddie was seeking out another weapon. Plus, in that part of the world, no way to know if he had a suicide vest on, or nearby, so shooting until he didn't move could be more defensible.
Not arguing, really, just throwing out a different assessment.
What is he shooting, a .22?
