Johnson, 28, the driver of the Acura and new father of a boy last month, was shot in his midsection. He died at the scene. His sister, Yanique Johnson, describes him as “a loving, caring, carjacker.”

Fixed it for them.

No, this was not justified. He used his gun to scare them off. That's fine. But shooting into their car as they're trying to escape is murder. In New York, he will be convicted. In Texas he might not be, but it wouldn't be because what he did was right. The threat was over. He should have gotten the license plate and description of the car and called it in to the police.

You don't shoot people because you can. You shoot them because you must or you may die.

I believe the events in the article are not in the correct order if they are accurate at all. The story states that the car jackers held the driver at gun point and fled when the tables turned. It says the driver then pulled a firearm and fired at the fleeing subjects.
I believe the car jackers approached the car armed and were shocked when the driver pulled his gun. Given the fact that the article did not mention either subject being shot in the back (Johnson was shot in his midsection and Lewis was shot in the head and midsection) I would be willing to bet the suspects retreated while keeping their firearms aimed in the general direction of the driver and their bodies turned in his general direction.
I do not believe there is enough information to say that they were no longer a threat.
