the wife bears some responsibility.He shoot him in the back? Hard to tell if he just spun and fell back facing him. Was the deceased trying to enter his house when shot? Was anyone else in the residence? Dumb to shoot the ground first. Heard no threats from the deceased and he did not strike the shooter or have a weapon. Ex wife not concerned she's just talking on her phone standing next to the ex.
Again lucky it's Texas. Most states he would have been arrested.
The deceased threatened to take the gun and then he grabbed the gun.
I'm not sure how much this plays into this tragedy.
The question will be “Why was the gun retrieved and brought into the situation?”.
If a case can be made that Mom’s life/safety was in danger, then fine...
If it was brought out solely to run off a trespasser, well, that’s NOT allowed in Texas deadly force statutes, and could possibly be “escalation”...
