Murder Or Self-defence?

Posted on the 30 December 2017 by Doggone
Person gets out of a car, or leaves their house, with a loaded gun. There was a stated intent to go after someone who looked "suspicious".
Is it self-defence or murder if the person who "looked suspicious" is killed?
To make it fun, let's use this statute!
Murder or self-defence?
Feel free to use this guide to help you come up with something vaguely intelligent should you wish to answer this: open.lib.umn.edu/criminallaw/chapter/4-2-criminal-intent/
BTW, this uses two situations where get away with murder laws were used.  Extra credit for guessing which two situations I am thinking of and their outcomes!
