(5) Depends on the situation and because of that those people should be well trained.
(6) I don´t understand and applaud him, as it was a dumb decision not to follow the advice of the dispatcher, and risk his life.

You avoided the question in numbers 3 and 5.
(3) You said no law should allow you to shoot someone while running away. I say that's too general. So if someone stole that money from you and/or raped your wife, would you be opposed to the law allowing you to shoot him? By your prior statement, the answer is you are opposed. We're not talking about what happened before he committed the crime. He's now running away, and your wife is on the floor raped and crying. Would you shoot if you had a gun? He's no longer in your house posing any kind of threat to you. He's running away.
(5) Pick your situation. These neighborhood watch people are not on their own property. They see a crime (pick your crime, doesn't matter). They decide shooting the criminal is appropriate. Would you support it? Yes or No?
