I disagree. If two people in a bar call each other names and make threats, it doesn't cancel out, unless you mean they both lose the ability to claim self defense as a result of the mutual provocation and escalation.
That would apply if said bar idiots argued, then started fighting..
I agree. The law also talks about abandoning the encounter, which may or may not apply in some road rage shootings.

IDK. I saw the space shuttle today but I readily admit I didn't see this shooting or the incident(s) leading up to it. ;-)
