I'm sure the victim had 100% certainty the gun dude was just bluffing. No way he would kill someone for standing on their porch looking for his own son, right? No way with all the cameras on them, right? Under that premise, the "grab/push gun out of the way" reaction seems somewhat natural. When the killer stepped back and fired 2 shots into the dude's head/chest (or wherever), I still am shocked he did that. No way he gets off scott free from this... Texas or not.
Second time this week I'm gonna call you an idiot.
You NEVER screw around with a man or most definitely not a woman, if they have a loaded gun in their hand. Not unless you are prepared to engage and kill them.
In Louisiana, with Castle Doctrine, that's most likely a righteous shooting. Don't know about Texas, but I'm guessing the guys walks...

He might have been certain, but he was wrong. I think if he tried to take the gun away, I'd shoot him too. Otherwise, you might end up killed with your own weapon, something I've spoken on here before. You don't pull out a firearm unless you intend to use it.

Sad that the first reaction by anybody was not to help the guy that was shot.
