Also never looked like he kept going after him after the initial push
He actually did, but he saw the guy pulling out a gun and then backed off. He was going to do more harm to him up until that or at least seemed like he would. If Drejka had fired immediately in same motion he pulled out his gun it would have been hard to not call it self defense, but he didn’t.
There also didn’t appear to be any witnesses stating that the moment he stopped backing up right before getting shot McGlockton had started back challenging him and threatening him verbally like he started to doubt Drejka would fire and might quickly reengage.
It seems like correct verdict, but I don’t doubt that having a gun saved Drejka. He just didn’t need to fire (especially when he did), and if he hadn’t cops would have been arresting McGlockton for assault.

If he was backing up you don’t shoot.
If he was still going forward you shoot
