How many people were driving the car ALL THREE OF THEM....(?)
One was driving (I assume, do you know different?), all three were criminals. When someone is killed in the commission of a crime, all the surviving criminals can (and should) be charged with felony murder. The drivers actions caused the death of her partner.
Gives you a whole new light on the door greeter doesn't it... Shooting a shoplifter is over the top, but the woman did break the law and she did steal. Because it is Wal Mart makes no difference than a mom and pop convenience store.. While the security guard was probably arrested and will go on trial, you can not escape the fact that if this woman had not shop lifted, she would be alive and well today..
Read article, before making declarations. Shooter was an off duty Sheriff, and was about to get run over by the woman he shot.
He WAS the police. He was an off-duty law enforcement officer. His job at Wal-Mart was to confront and arrest shoplifters and other lawbreakers.
His police training was not to place Little Babies In Harms Way...to call for back up and take the license plate number down of the Shoplifters " they were not Bank Robbers or Murderers or Rapist or Terrorist " they were simple vanilla chocolate SHOPLIFTERS....get it...?
And he should have let her escape, and not put the children or other bystanders in danger.
It's not like they don't have uber surveillance. They could have arrested her later down the line and brought the appropriate charges.
To open her car door and shoot into the car was reckless and irresponsible, and disproportionate to the original crime.
You don't shoot into a car that has innocent children in it. Somebody has to have some composure and rationality, and it's not going to be the perpetrator.

They became attempted murders when the driver tried to run over the cop. All three are pathetic excuses for humans, let alone mothers. Committing crimes while their children are with them? WHat the hell is wrong with these people? Thankfully the driver's actions only got another criminal killed, not the kids, or the officer.

So the passengers in the woman's car could be charged with felony murder? Houston, we have a problem.
All three were committing criminal acts (actually several). The driver's violent actions resulted in death during the commission of the crime.
Quote:
n. a rule of criminal statutes that any death which occurs during the commission of a felony is first degree murder, and all participants in that felony or attempted felony can be charged with and found guilty of murder. A typical example is a robbery involving more than one criminal, in which one of them shoots, beats to death or runs over a store clerk, killing the clerk. Even if the death were accidental, all of the participants can be found guilty of felony murder, including those who did no harm, had no gun, and/or did not intend to hurt anyone. In a bizarre situation, if one of the holdup men or women is killed, his/her fellow robbers can be charged with murder.
