A Criminal Act Disguised as a DGU (Defensive Gun Use)

A South Jersey pharmacist pulled out a handgun and fired several shots at a would-be robber as he chased him from his store, authorities said. Police said it did not appear any shots hit the fleeing holdup man, who had demanded narcotic painkillers.
“I’m no hero, but I thought, ‘Either him or I,’” said John Agyemang, who opened Jolin’s Pharmacy in Winslow about three months ago.
"No hero," is right. In fact this sounds more like criminal behavior than anything else.
You cannot shoot at a fleeing robber no matter what you thought you saw in their fanny pack.
But, unfortunately, even in New Jersey, gun owners get away with criminal acts like this.
