This boy could have been shot in another part of his body, w/o shooting him in the head, to stop him. Senseless death!

Yes, he could have. But without being there you have no idea of the situation. When having to make a snap judgement to shoot or not shoot in a fluid, close-range situation, it is not always as easy as it sounds to hit someone in an arm or leg. You take the shot that presents itself. The Step-Father probably would have preferred the situation did not devolve to the point he had to pull a gun and shoot, but it did and he did.

dj cha... just who exactly are you to judge? i'm sure the step father would much rather this situation never even happened.

robert tippin... well said.
