I mean, kind of a psychotic thing to not have even a little remorse for taking someones life. God damn. Really showing his true colors here.

I think he believed this man was going to harm or kill innocent people and he saved them from that.

In the snippet of the interview the article is based on, he never says he has no regrets or even uses the word regret. He says that he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he had done nothing and Neely had done what he kept threatening.

I think it's possible if not likely that he said that in response to being asked if he has any regrets, but his response still isn't saying he has none.

Beyond that, it's a tricky question to answer when there is still further litigation he is due to face. To say he does have regrets or is sorry would be used by people whose interests are to make him look culpable and make it seem as some admission of guilt.

People communicate regret in not having hugged a loved one that died in a car accident on that day for two seconds longer, or talked to them for an extra minute. It's only natural. Of course he wishes, in hindsight, he would've done different knowing how it turned out. But he can't admit that openly. And his focus was on his decision to intervene vs the details of how he went about it.
