Well, if you are implying he shouldn't have shot him in the back, this ain't the Queen of Marksbury rules when someone is going after a weapon. I have seen BG's drop knives and they will turn their back while trying to hide the fact they are picking it up so they can bend over and tuck it under them, then turn around and make a full lunge.

If I think someone is bending over and picking up a gun that he just dropped, I may shoot him in the butt too. However, it may not be just one shot.

Yes, the original story did say that he was carrying a hammer. However, it never stated when the customer saw it or if he did at all. For all we know the police could have found it when they arrived.

It also said that the customer followed the guy outside and confronted him. We do not know what was said or how he confronted him. If the customer was aggressive this could be seen as provoking the man and in turn would make it illegal to use deadly force.

With the additional details we know that he was legal in what he did however the first story made it a very unclear.

So with the original story one could believe that the customer could face charges on what was reported.

I believe you have missed the intent on the act of provocation. That means you started the event by FIRST provocating the individual like picking a fight with someone who did not provoke any action to begin with.

Once this bozo committed the armed robbery, then all bets are off and there is no way he will be hit with provoking a fight as confronting him about a felony is not provocation.

Stealing K2 is just the tip of the iceberg and will lead to further robberies and thefts of Twinkies, Cheeto's and frozen burritos from more Stop & Rob stores.

If this was a CHL who did this, unless he was faced with Deadly force he had no business shooting the thief, and really, should not have followed him our or confronted him.
This "customer" will probably face severe charges up-to and including attempted murder

While I agree in theory he probably shouldn't have followed him, we really don't know why he did. Maybe the CHL'er was trying to get a better description of the guy, or a license number from a car and the BG turned around and came toward him with the hammer? Unless we were there, then we don't know.

I am sure all of the evidence will be looked at and the video security tape will show what really happened. Then the prosecutors can make up their minds to refer it to a Grand Jury or not.
