Gunman shoots into crowd at party then gets stoned to death

Sounds like a good way to see that justice is done. Too many crooks, murderers, killers, rapists hiring bad lawyers who get them off on some little point of law. No lawyer needed here and he got just what he deserved. Amen!

You got it. It's coming. I say until the gunman actually let go of and/or dropped his gun stone away. I don't know if they would could get conspiracy charges.

I keep on thinking Kitty Genovese in this case with no one in the crowd trying to stop the crowd rather than a crowd trying to stop one person.

Yea, the link said a "group" stoned him. Each is jointly and severally liable, used mostly in a civil tort context, but as a example.

I wonder if they stoned him while he was actively shooting. in which case I guess they could make a case for in defense of others (as long as they stopped stoning after he was down or incapacitated and disarmed), or after he had stopped and was running away.

Hard to tell. From the article:

"After shooting into the crowd, police said people gathered and threw gardening stones at the suspected gunman, killing him".

This would, at least to me, indicate he was unable to flee, or why would he get repeatedly hit enough to die? A gun against stones, if he ran out of bullets, the crowd would have known it.

I think he was initially injured enough by a stone to go down, then the crowd engaged in vigilantly justice? From the sparse facts this is what I think happened.

Yeah, that's what it looked like to me, too. But, as you said, impossible to tell from the article. I'd imagine the crowd is in a heap of trouble if they kept on stoning him after he was down/incapacitated because wouldn't that then turn it from self defense to revenge/vigilante justice?
 
While the articles didn't say anything about this, I have to wonder what combination of alcohol and drugs played a part in this. No one involved sounds particularly sane to me.
