Since I was not on the scene at the time, I cannot say retreat was impossible. The witnesses will be interviewed over the next few days and I will learn more as to the events.

Right now, there are two injured victims that were total strangers to the perp and the perp is being held in jail without bond. The company truck has been impounded.

I still maintain I would have shot him and I would have exited the vehicle to keep his focus on myself rather than my family members. One strike with a tire iron to the head can incapacitate someone and the shattering of a side window can blind one next to it. Either way, the person in the vehicle can be rendered helpless and the attacks on family members could continue.

At this time and until I get more information, I think the man brought a tire iron to a gun fight and think a shooting would be justified.
