Whether this was a justifiable shooting remains to be seen, unless you have already closed your mind to the facts.
A 17 year old male is not really a kid anymore, and is physiologically the equal to an adult, and in some cases, superior.
It remains to be seen who was the aggressor here, and whether lethal force was justified. You appear to have already decided.
I usually, but not always, carry a less than lethal weapon. The laws in most states require this of law enforcement officers, but not CCW citizens. Either you can use lethal force, or you cannot. That has nothing to do with "playing" a cop.
I will wait for the investigation to be complete before making allegations.

When you get out of your truck and decide to pursue a suspicious person you are playing cop. I don't care if the guy is white or hispanic, or if the kid is black. This guy brought a world of hurt on himself and some family by being stupid.
It's a gated community..... Get a good discription, call the cops, explain why he or his activity is suspicious and stay the hell in your truck. Simple!
