Bad luck to bring a stun gun to a robbery that turns into a gunfight.
Why shoot someone in the butt? If you are going to go to the trouble to draw, maybe you should aim higher.

Maybe that was the biggest target.

Begs to ask how the rear-end was in sight unless his back was turned/ing.

Why? If they are in the process of committing an act that justifies deadly force, there is nothing in the law that says you can't shoot them in the back (or butt). It may be against the "old west" code but it isn't against the Texas penal code.

Aggressor sees gun and decides to turn and run as trigger is being pulled?
Aggressor turned at an angle presenting a lower cheek as a side target?
Up close scuffle that resulted in a funny shooting angle?

I like either of the first two possibilities. I'd go with either of those.
