I said the self-defense claim is imperfect because the initial approach to a suspected burglar was questionable, legally speaking. But after said approach (and keep in mind that we don't know that a firearm was ever pointed at the victim), the victim of the shooting attempted to grab a loaded firearm from one of the men attempting citizen's arrest. That's an attack against which one ordinarily would possess a right to use lethal force to thwart, since it can be reasonably assumed that a suspected burglar, once he has disarmed you, will use said weapon against you.
Someone is repeatedly chasing you with truck and shotgun
blocking your path and telling you to stop!. ,
do they have to point the 12 Guage directly at you
before you take it as an imminent threat?

transcripts of the two 911 calls suggest it was not
a justified citizens arrest... Twice the operator asked
what the crime commited was, And all they could
tell them was ' a man is running down the road.'
