:iagree: If someone is firing at me, I don't care what direction they are headed. They are still a lethal threat and should be dealt with as such.

I understand that the bullet struck the trunk and then went through the back seat. The kid was unfortunate enough to be sitting in the path of the bullet.
You may be correct. I was instructed to never fire or advance on a retreating subject.

I thought you said it was OK to shoot people in the back if you're a cop? Why are they being arraigned?
Sure. 6-8 months after the fact. Details of what the kid was supposedly holding won't be released and the POs are still on the job being paid by tax payers. True billed- the DA sure is trying -right

Re: Homeowner returns fire at teens in car

Thanks for the reply. I have no problem with the home owners actions. As I said, it was just told to me not to ever shoot when a person in fleeing, or has their back to you, That may have to die with liberal, anti gun attitude out here. I just don't want to see anyone with their rump on the ringer. I wasn't being argumentative to take up for the low life perps.

He wasn't trying to shoot anyone in the back. He was returning fire.

You seem to to be doing everything you can to put some kind of guilt on the homeowner. So far you've accused him of shooting at fleeing suspects, spraying and praying and now shooting people in the back. Is there something you'd like to share with the group?

I put no guilt on the home owner. However, the article stated the perps were driving away when the home owner returned fire. It was pounded into my head during me CHL class that I should never fire as a person was fleeing. It is not as the perps were continually firing.

As far as section 9 of the penal code, I see justifiable deadly force but no mention of shooting in the back....please before specific

Re: Homeowner returns fire at teens in car

If they are no longer posing a threat (fleeing) you better not fire. If they still pose a threat....fire away.....I don't care what age they are

Re: Homeowner returns fire at teens in car

I'd like to see all the kids punished with attempted murder. However, I think the best action would have been to take cover and protect yourself,,,,,hopefully get a plate # and call it in. I'm just glad to hear the gentleman is ok
