Calling this man a murderer is pathetic. These men were not perceived criminals...they were criminals, and he rid our state of two of them. Shouldn't have tried to run. Deal with it.
DS, If memory serves me, there was an officer on the scene who was there long enough to see him holding up the criminals and then shoot them when, from his point of view, one of them ran at Horn. Surely he was there in enough time to perform his duties.

correct...a UC was at the scene...who more than likely was or could be utilized as eyes for the uni already en route that would have been able to track the criminals down...
Getting out of the car could have had the consequences of him getting shot by Horn, who could have mistaken the UC as a getaway driver. Or possibly the UC getting shot or detained by unis who also could have mistaken him for one of the perps and the perps were getting away...
just a thought.
But in any instance, the UC did what he was supposed to do IMO
