Re: Duty to retreat
As for you trying to stop the rampage.........
A lot of things are going to be looked at, first being that you were under no obligation to stay there and do anything especially if you could safely leave the area. However, the fact that you had it in your mind that you were trying to protect the life of another person might cancel this out.
What happens if you stay and an innocent person is hit?
Being that you had no duty to do anything, did your action escalate the situation?
I'm not saying trying to stop a madman is a good or bad thing, but you need to realize that there are a lot of issues to deal with if you decide to do something.
