The unarmed victim would have died anyway, given his actions. The unanswerable question is, if the first robber had not been shot, would the second robber have fired as he fled, wounding four other people?

Don't PARF this comment as it's just an observation. The CCL was carrying in violation of the policy of the Mall. There are four wounded people as the result of the fleeing robber's actions. The unanswerable question I posted could be grounds for civil cases against the CCL. Hopefully not, but one never knows.

Texas mall: Shopper who shot suspect not allowed to carry
Carrying a concealed handgun if the Mall is PROPERLY posted, is a misdemeanor "Trespass by License holder".

As far as the shooting is concerned, as long as the CHL did not shoot anyone but a bad guy, he should be clear. Civil lawsuits like that have a VERY tough time in Texas, since they passed legislation killing civil lawsuits IF there are no criminal charges.
