Wait a minute Bowz....the pharmacy had been robbed before, and I think the pharmacist was just protecting himself and the lives of it's employees. Perhaps what wasn't warranted were the last final shots. He should have called police and taken away the kids's weapon.
His training from the Gulf War made him take steps that were natural for him. I think he should be tried for manslaughter and be given a reduced sentece.
What "if" the teenage gunman had shot the pharmacist dead instead, and injured the other employees or customers? Maybe this event will slow down the teens taking advantage of others through gun crimes. The pharmacist did what was right, in the first instance, and became judge and jury thereafter. I think different people would re-act differently.
That was just his call.
