In all accounts I saw quoting The wife who was there, instead of chief McManus who was not, It is clear that one of the robbers Started shooting first, killing her unarmed husband for simply stepping between his wife and the armed robber. THEN The LTC holder put down the robber who initiated The shooting. The second robber then ran from the store shooting as he went.

Here are a couple stories where the wife was interviewed.

I think for capital murder the only two punishments are death or life without parole. (Unless convicted under 18 years of age and then I think they get life).

For murder they can be sentenced from 5 to 99 years or to life. If sentenced to life he must serve at least forty years Before eligible for parole.

Good. One down, one to go.

This is a lot different than "tried to intervene in a robbery."

Update: my comment above was in reply to what I swear was someone else's post with the following story, but now I don't see it?

Anyway: http://www.ksat.com/news/rolling-oak-ma ... ooting-him

[Wife Aimee]Murphy was standing between her and one of the suspects. Jonathan tried to get in front of her.

"I think he was trying to stand in between to protect me, maybe protect the children. I don't know, I don't know what he was thinking. He didn't say anything and the guy just started shooting him," said Murphy.

I suspect the "her" that I highlighted in red was meant to be "him." Sounds like all he did was step between his wife and the robbers and one of the robbers shot him in the chest and head. As I said, a lot different than "intervene."
