this is the kicker Later, police received a call for a gunshot victim at 1505 Commonwealth Ave. Roisten then claimed he disarmed the suspect with his left hand and shot the suspect with his right as the suspect fled out of the front door, police said.
IF the robber was unarmed and ruining away at the time he was shot then Mr. Roisten was in no danger and had no cause to shoot the robber. To use force as a civilian you have to meet the same standards as the police, you must be in physical danger and the threat has to be imminent.
