OK, justified, faced an armed robber. He was certainly armed to the teeth:

Lilly “feared for his life and immediately lifted up his shirt which concealed a Glock 23 loaded with hollow point bullets on his right hip,” then fired four to five rounds at Broadbent. Broadbent was declared dead at the scene.

Police seized the gun from Lilly at the scene. Upon searching him, they also found three Glock 40 magazines in his left front pocket, along with pepper spray, two pocket knives, a wallet, flashlight, cellphone and a set of car keys.


What caught my eyes was this:

Afterward, (bail paid) Lilly and his attorneys crossed the street to confer with supporters who were at the hearing, and who declined to speak with reporters.

He has supporters?
