I think there is absolutely no reasonable explanation for this shooting.
Wonder if they called the guy and requested that he turn himself in. Seems like it could save a lot of pain.

You would be surprised how some courts have interpreted it. Brandishing can get you, and even when the statutes condition with "go about" armed, some courts have found that it is not even necessary to leave your home to be convicted of such. I'd have to google to link you but I am sure I have seen this.
