Apologies if this has already been posted.
The Utah media carried a story about an off duty Virginia police officer who shot and killed a car thief at a car wash. As reported at this article on KSL, it sounds to me like the officer threatened deadly force over the theft of a car when innocent life and limb were not at risk. Subsequently, the thief made one of those fatal "furtive movements" that justifies getting shot.
Did local Virginia media provide any additional details or better coverage?
Not that I care much for car thieves, but I'm hoping that being a cop doesn't grant privileges to defend mere property in ways that would get us commoners arrested and tossed into prison for a decade or so.
