In California, if you were to shoot someone over theft of property that did not involve a threat against life, you would be up on attempted murder charges (or some such charge).
I was commenting more on where a high enough level of looting activity might bring on threats from officials, as has been done from time to time.

Even with just the social-distancing being ignored, serious enough that the Phillipine President apparently making very clear that they are not fooling around wrt their emergency declaration! The idea perhaps being the same, that a threat to violator's lives might save lives(?).
