He committed a felony. Resisted arrest. The gun went off. He made choices and were killed for those choices. He's not magically absolved of his decisions because you want to bend reality so you can have sympathy for him. Those agents have the same right to defend themselves as you do. Here are a series of quotes from a self defense attorney on the subject you probably won't read or will ignore because it doesn't jive with your hormonal makeup: - "The moment he makes contact with that officer, he's just committed a federal felony good for eight years in a federal penitentiary." - "That's why they were seeking to make his arrest because they saw him commit a forcible felony against a fellow officer." - "Then he's noncompliant with arrest. He's fighting them. Then they discover he has a gun..." - "They take that gun. There are cries of 'gun, gun, gun.' The officers called to each other. He's still noncompliant. They hear a gunshot go off. And Alex Pretty's right hand comes from his waistline with a black object in his hand." - "That combination of facts is going to get you shot 999 times out of a thousand by law enforcement, and justifiably so." "They're making all these perceptions, all these decisions in a violent, chaotic melee caused by Alex Pretti." "They have to make all these decisions in a split second because that's how quickly someone can use a weapon against you, and those decisions." "They don't have to be correct. The law of self-defense does not require us to make perfect decisions..."

I hope we see this adjudicated in court, so that we can settle the issue from a legal standpoint but it is quite likely no charges will be brought.
