    | Prosecutors have discretion. They can decline to prosecute, regardless of the law. |

    | This would have been completely legal in Texas. 
 Apparently, you cannot pursue and shoot someone in Colorado after the threat has been removed.
 
 This being a suburb of Denver, the guy is probably toast.  Outside of the greater Denver liberal enclave, he would probably find a sympathetic prosecutor, grand jury, and jury.

                      | "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking:  What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?  Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"  —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |  |  |
