Ok, I see Kyle running away from the first guy who got shot. What am I getting wrong?
If Kyle initiating the confrontation, then he has a duty to retreat. There is no evidence either way on that one. In addition, though, it was one person chasing him and he was getting away until he made the decision to turn around and fire at the person chasing him. Under Wisconsin law, there needs to be a reasonable fear for life or serious injury for self-defense, which would have to play out in court to ascertain. But I have to reiterate, here, that if Kyle initiated the confrontation, even though he was being chased, he has a duty to retreat under Wisconsin law meaning that decided to stop running, turn around, and shoot his pursuer was a violation of that duty.
