It is my understanding that the officer that shot the guy that placed the bombs in NY and NJ was running away when shot. I haven't heard one word questioning why the officer did that. Is it because he didn't die or because he was a bomber. Looks like the lady that shot at man in Waco several months ago that was running away is in trouble. That guy wasn't hit, didn't die and wasn't a bomber.
From what I have read, not that I believe it in all cases, the BG was shooting while running. Shooting in that case would be justified due to the danger he posed to others. Also since he was recognized as the bomber, letting him escape could potentially pose a threat, but that would be more difficult to use as a defense. JMHO
