Unless you are a cop and you are shooting someone in the back, of course we all know that cops are above the law and are allowed to kill at will. |
It's all context and circumstance. If someone breaks into your house and you shoot them because you think you see a weapon, or some other factor lends creedence to the fact that you felt your life or someone elses was in danger; then no you would probably not go to jail. However if you chase them out into the street, shoot them in your yard, something to that extent, yes you will catch some shit. In this case, if It were America I can't say what would happen. The guy was riding down the street in a motorcycle at your boy, he was in proximity to stab him in motion... seems like a threat to life to me.
