@Twocompulsive:

Here in Australia the shooter could have been charged,probably with manslaughter. Same goes for a shopkeeper who shoots dead an armed robber armed with a knife.

We have a law called 'reasonable force' which is applied to everyone (except apparently to our police) in cases of alleged self defence.
I don't know the full facts of the case you cited. On the face of it,the man may have overreacted. Who knows what he was feeling,How afraid he was? IF he was in genuine fear for his life,lethal force is acceptable,but not otherwise.
