Supposedly Read was taking a step towards Carruth when he shot him. Carruth hesitating, the “warning” shot, him getting a gun when Read wasn’t being violent, them standing casually after the shooting, while legal makes the situation feel slimy.

They were probably 8 to10' apart when Carruth took the shot. I agree, all of what you say is exactly how it played out in the video making it look real slimy.
