If there is an immediate credible threat to human life, one's own or others, deadly force sufficient to stop the threat, as the general rule, is viewed as reasonable self defense (some States limit the circumstance, some severely. None are more expansive).

A 'warning shot' is most often viewed by the courts as negligent discharge, escalation or even provocation. Depending on how connected this guy is in our much degraded judicial system, he may well be charged. I think he ought to be.
He may be an idiot, but he's a successful idiot.
The account appeared recently in the paper, but it turns out the incident was months ago. The young guys in question told the story only recently.
And the shooter is well connected indeed. It would take real nerve for local law enforcement to go after a state senator regarding a months-old incident, even if his own statements about it are damning.
Everyone is quite aware of the Vincent Foster Rule.
