Instead of calling it "ding dong ditch" we could call it "shooting a child in the back while they're running away from you."
I'm struggling to conceive why you're implying shooting a kid in the back while they're running away from you can be justified in some way. Whatever threat may or may not have existed was clearly over when the children started running away.
That certainly would be a more accurate description of the known facts
He's not trying to justify the shooting, only saying it may not have played out as we're imagining.
He is getting charged with a crime, so the law agrees with you here.
