Would You Shoot 2 Men to Protect Your Neighbor's Property?

[Alex]

Horn has not been acquitted of anything. A grand jury refused to issue an indictment. I believe that means the local prosecutors are able to represent to another grand jury if they think they can get another decision.

That said, since grand juries are strongly tilted in the favor of the prosecution it isn't a good sign.

As said before I am going completely based on a single news story, and that generally isn't a great way to become informed on events. So I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that there is information that makes this more justified than the story otherwise indicates.

I agree with your concerns.

Unless one is an experienced marksman, with a bullet (not a shotgun), as well as many other variables being perfect, the chances of someone just wounding someone running is highly unlikely.
