Theoretically, one would think. He also fired at the vehicle that was leaving, or in legal shoot/no shoot parlance, "retreating" which is a "no shoot" situation.So......if the guy in the car is found to have use reasonable force in self-defense then the medic can be brought up on charges of attempted murder for firing at the man in the car as he was driving away???
But as mentioned, this is Austin where they make up their own laws.
I got stopped in Austin on a suspicion of DWI about ten years ago just blocks from where this shooing occurred. I also had a .45 truck gun so an UCW charge was added. The charges were dropped for lack of evidence and my CHL was restored on one condition, and that was I wasn't going to get my gun back. The courts wouldn't budge on that. It was a RIA 5" Gov. with 3.5 trigger job and other custom features, valued at $1k if I counted my own time fitting the grip safety and making mesquite handle grips.
My lawyer said he could fight it but it would cost triple what I had in the gun and I was a poor. So Austin stole my gun the way I see it.
