Typical public outcry by the community and not unreasonable.  Without a legal background, not really surprising that folks struggle with comprehending initial lesser charges.  Consider the shockwaves over this reckless disregard for the store employee's life.  I do agree that you are absolutely correct regarding the order of charges.  Public outrage is understandable though, especially in this case.  Concern for public safety by the community is far better then the complacency that has become commonplace in so many other cities.
