No, but you have to KNOW that the man is a convicted felon, before, or at least when, you shoot or arrest him for the crime. Curry, apparentlly did not have such knowledge.

I see that you are unfamiliar with how the law works. So, let me enlighten you. In order for Curry's actions to be justified, he would have to be facilitating an arrest, in which the suspect was resisting with deadly force, or was under attack, with deadly force, or reasonably believed that such an attack was imminent. The key word here is reasonably. Now, as Curry did not know that the men were committing any crime, nor was he attempting to question them concerning any crime, then he has to fall back on a reasonable belief that they were attempting an imminent attack upon him. So, under the circumstances prevailing, at the time of the shooting, would a reasonable LEO believe that a deadly force attack was imminent and could only be prevented through the use of deadly force? That is the question that has to be answered by the investigators, the SA and possibly a Grand Jury. Curry's claim is one of self defense and is subject to the laws on use of deadly force in self defense.
