Mr. Johnson, 17, was injured on his backside and foot.

This suggests he was doing just that...and had a pretty good "kick" to his sprint.

Its doubtful the motivation was to stop the thief from taking someone else's money:

One of the victims called a family member who was waiting just outside of the store.

My guess it that this person reacted the same way I would if a family member was in danger. What actions I might take would depend upon the totality of the circumstance, but one thing is certain, I won't be sitting out in the car.

Without benefit of additional information.....I can't say whether the shooting was justified or not. As it is written, it does not sound like a good shoot. However, I can think of a dozen ways a person could be threating you while offering only his posterior as a target.
