For the curious: Cops can charge you with murder if they kill someone while trying to stop you from committing a felony. For instance, if you rob a bank and the cops needlessly shoot a bystander, you can be charged with that bystander’s murder.
And that’s exactly what they’re doing here. They’re charging him with a felony for the break-in and attempted robbery, and they can pin the murder (that the cop committed) on him.
