I can't tell. It seems someone is yelling "we got one of them right here" and it appears the two men draw on one another. The victim gets off his shot first but the other guy has a bullet proof vest on and his (Survivor) shot a second later hit the mark.

Overall. Probably a murder charge. The mindset and whether the shooter felt the other guy walking toward him was a threat will play out in court. Oregon isn't a stand your ground state, but also isn't full duty to retreat by case law.
