One of the most important things our instuctors drilled into our head over and over again was how careful you had to be, and how SURE you had to be before you pull that gun.

They used a scenario like this: You come out into a parking lot, at night, lit well by the larger overhead light types, but still shadowy in some places. You see a knock down, dragout fight in one of those shadowy places. One guy finally gets the best, and pulls a gun. If you yell, maybe the one with the gun swings toward the sound, inadvertently pointing the gun towards you, and you fire.....killing a plainclothes or off-duty LEO.

There were so many more variations of this, where in alot of the cses, a guy coming to the scene in the middle, shoots, or would shoot the wrong guy.
