re: #639 MandyManners

He left the store and CAME BACK IN. If he was so scared of the one he shot in the head, why didn’t he stay outside until the cops came? Why did he get another gun and shoot the teen five more times?

Please note that I am BY NO MEANS justifying that part of his actions.

But “first degree” usually means lying in wait, cold-blooded planning, etc.; this seems pretty clearly to have had an element of “passion”/anger/fear to it.
