As he did.
DHS Also has rules banning shooting at moving vehicles.
But it is very clear from the video framed from behind the victims car.. During all 3 shots both his feet can be seen to the left of the car.
Killing the driver of a car heading towards you is about the dumbest way to stop a car. Even if the driver was intent on hitting a person. A dead driver is unable to take his foot of the pedal.
Also. Given the position of the windscreen bullet hole. No angle where the shooter is in the front of the car. Would he be aiming at the driver. In fact he would have to be aiming at the other ICE agent. Or the driver would have to have her head outside the window, while the videos make it clear she was not.
This was a murder. His past experience may be his motivation. But self defense clearly was not.
