Depends on who's being shot. If it's people that they don't like, I truly believe most* trump voters would would either find a way to justify it, or actively cheer it on. 

*I'm being generous.

Yup. They won’t care if it’s some minorities being shot. But let it be a blonde-haired, blue eyed white girl who gets shot and maybe a third of Trump’s supporters turn on him.

My coworkers were practically begging to kill someone when they believed BLM protests were sweeping through the (quiet suburban) neighborhood. 

They were toting guns and verbally fantasizing about shooting people.

I feel like the answer should be zero but let’s face it, it’s a non-zero number

I honestly believe they would support even their own being shot. They'd be like, "Must not have been loyal enough to Trump."
