No. That's why he was shot with non-lethal rounds. He suffered serious injuries certainly, and the whole case is deplorable, but it was a fairly reasonable response to his actions at that moment.

They're not "non-lethal", they're "less lethal". People can and do die from rubber bullets.

In the face - not his legs or torso (Not that he should have been shot at all).
