Most states do not have protection for someone committing a felony, especially if they were armed.True. The laws of the state matter. But even the reddest State would have trouble with this.
The baddie had fled. He no longer presented a threat to the Clerk who pursued the Baddie outside and opened fire.
You could argue fleeing felon, but the clerk is not a cop and states don’t give that sort of power to the average citizen.
The robbery is history. It is a matter for the police. It is not relevant to the Clerk coming out to get the guy.
It isn’t a single event. It is two events, sequential, but not connected.
In Georgia, if the Robber had died, the clerk would be facing murder charges. Hell in Georgia we can’t even place someone under citizens arrest.
