As far as federal prosecution in office, its really a pointless exercise considering that DOJ is part of the executive branch and it would never happen in practice.
That's the current understanding via the DOJ memo.
Now state prosecutions...that's much more of a spicy meatball, especially with the initial conceptualization of federalism and the expansive state power it envisioned, at the time of the passing of the Constitution.

Reading this thread raises interesting questions
Hypothetical:
Republican President is in New Orleans with Republican house and senate. Giving speech and there is a heckler. President walks off the stage and pulls a gun and kills the heckler.
Does the constitution prohibit LA from charging him with murder? Is he allowed to continue to serve absent some impeachment?
I have to believe, in this hypo, that POTUS can be charged and tried with murder even without impeachment.
