Yeah, this was two hillbillies looking to lynch a guy
with dark skin.

Precisely who's property had he "entered" illegally?
Certainly neither of the two shooters.  Notice also
how he was running _toward_ them, merely going around
their truck.  It seems to be that I had done something
wrong and were fleeing from a crime scene I wouldn't
run at a leisurely pace towards the hillbillies with
shotguns.

AT> I think I'd aim for the leg.

Why would you shoot in the first place?
