Gerald Sykes, 76 at the time of the incident, was shot twice in the...Armed customer shoots man assaulting woman at party store
Grey issues here. Justified in presenting gun to stop beating of woman? Probably. Justified in shooting once suspect turns to attack him? Not the same disparity of force perhaps, but if suspect may have been able to obtain his gun. Jury will decide. Best we can...Armed robber forces armed woman outside, gets shot

Sad but useful reminder that a gun is not a magical talisman warding off evil. A gun is useless without training in how to use it, or not use it. Dad gets a Mo for leaving his three kids fatherless.
