Doubt a DA in Centerville would prosecute or a jury would convict.

What if it was in Austin, where it happened?

Doesn’t say age of shooter or shootee?
Based on the information in the article, I would say YES.. It was a legal use of deadly force. The bad actor already demonstrated his willingness to use deadly force which by the definition of deadly force "Deadly force" means force that is intended or known by the actor to cause, or in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing, death or serious bodily injury He already knocked an elderly person out and was attacking the armed defender.
