Newspapers are not always super accurate. The reporter probably did
not talk to Moulton. If the reporter had talked to Moulton, there
would likely have been at least one quoted remark.

You can't possibly know all of that (except for "Newspapers are not
always super accurate.").

You really need to learn to read with comprehension. The robber would
have been at close range because the story said it took place in the
drveway of the security store.

I said " more likely " because if Moulton had wanted to shoot the
robber, he probably would have fired more than one shot.

I did not say that the reporter did not talk to Moulton, I said
"probably". And then gave one reason why that might be true.
Another reason would be that the reporter was probably not on the
scene within half an hour of the incident, and Moulton is likely to
have left the scene by the time the reporter arrived.

It is possible that Moulton did try to shoot an unarmed man in the
back. But as Eliot said anyone with a permit to carry should know
better.
