Self defense?

What if a legally armed citizen shoots and kills one of a group of men he sees are armed yelling and rushing at him because he fears for his life? What if he fires shots at the group but misses everyone. They return fire, killing him in the process? Who gets charged and with what? Murder?

In the second scenario if the group of men is identified as government agents is tRump charged with anything as he issued the initial order for the attack from the top of the chain?

over tRump being so large that he was given practically no chance of being elected? Anything is possible in today's social/political climate with kidnappings by unidentified, apparently armed, groups of men being a reality.

Knowing they violate constitutional rights of peaceful protesters will backfire on them after lawsuits , and discovery shows this was premeditated promoted violence coming from Barr and trump for intimidation , and to stop legal protest against trump. Civil lawsuits will follow , and by then trump will be ousted from office with no way to corrupt the proceedings other than threats he'll claim he'll expose other powerful people unless it goes away, but it won't work.
