The then-27-year-old grabbed a pistol and ran outside to his Hyundai Elantra, where he spotted two people dressed in all black attempting to break into the car.

Schur confronted the individuals, but the would-be carjackers fled in another car.

The sergeant gave chase in his car and fired multiple rounds at the teens.

Yea, you can't do that.

The fleeing car crashed into the backyard fence of a home four blocks south of Schur’s residence.

Kirk and his teen accomplice hopped out of the damaged car and began running away as Schur continued to fire.

Kirk was found suffering from gunshot wounds to the head and back. He was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

The 13-year-old, who was driving the getaway car, was shot in the back and managed to get to a relative’s house before being brought to a hospital and survived.

Schur was arrested after the shooting and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder.

While what he did should be legal, he took things a little too far based on our nanny state laws.

But how do you get charged with 1st degree murder for this. Seems like a pretty classic heat of the moment killing.

In Colorado, I'm guessing they were pushing extreme indifference to human life, which is part of their murder 1 statute regardless of specific intent.

The jury got him on murder 2 according to the article.

You think? He chased them down, forced them to crash their vehicle, then continued pursuing them and shot them both. It has been a loooooong time since that wasn't an over the line response to an attempted theft.

If people were legally allowed this response, there'd be a whole lot less "theft".

Yep. Currently they anticipate the rules of engagement to be in their favor once they run.
