Georgia Man shot at young shopper outside Lowe’s he thought was stealing. He thought he should be rewarded, witness says

Let me check on what gun owners think about this.“I saw a white male shooting at another person, a Black male,” said Michael Starks, who was in the parking lot when the shooting happened. “He could have hit him in the back, could have killed him, could have had a stray bullet that struck someone else.”
Police say 64-year-old Steven Douglas Wagner pulled a pistol and fired near the garden center around 3 p.m. at the store on Atlanta Highway.
A Lowe’s employee told police the young man had not stolen anything, according to Starks.
Starks called 911 and followed Wagner back into the store and snapped a photo that helped police make an arrest within minutes.
He said Wagner’s demeanor was concerning.
“He honestly thought he did nothing wrong and should have been rewarded for his actions,” Starks said.
The usual attitude is that you don't shoot at people running away from shoplifting.
The store has insurance for merchandise. You might hit someone else. You won't get a medal for heroism.
You're going to pay tens of thousands for a lawyer even if you get off.
And you're probably not going to get off.
