Murder or Self Defense
This pharmacist is being charged for murder after being robbed and shooting the robber http://newsok.com/oklahoma-city-phar...rticle/3372941

it wasn't the original shot, it's the 5 extra after he was down that they're calling murder. I however think it's still self defense. I've always been tought to shoot until there is no longer a threat and a man laying on the ground shot with a gun close to him is definitely still a threat in my book.

I never believe everything the news says, dunno about a OK laws.
but if his life was endangered then yea self defense...
if he was tryin to robb them, then it kinda depends on the story and if there were any weapons involved.
If there wasnt a video camera it would be a dead mans word vs his...

i wanna say murder, but that young punk should have not been robbing. you also just cant unload your gun on someone that is already hurt and on the ground.. shoot him once maybe twice, tie him up wait for cops everything would have been ok.

I had heard of the issue earlier last week on the news. I am kind of on the fence on it. The news said he was unconscious, but at the same time there were two of them, one supposedly armed.
The biggest problem I have is that they said he actually went and got a second pistol to finish off the kid who was already unconscious on the ground. Had he feared for his life and immediately finished him off it would have been a bit more justified, but to actually go back behind the counter and get another pistol is pretty weird.

Apparently the first gun was a single shot or only had 1 bullet, he had another gun that was fully loaded.
Apparently he's never heard of Excessive Force. I'da shot the guy too but I wouldn't have walked up to him and finished him off. I'da made sure he was un armed and called the police.
