Long Island just had a retired NYPD officer responding to a roberry at a neighboring business to his where he shot and killed an off duty ATF agent wrestling with the robber over a gun.

Take the shot and you are liable for the consequences. Unless the situation were outright obvious like a rampage shooter I have observed I am not going to pull the trigger to save a stranger. My nightmare is witnessing a child abduction... I would intervene and would shoot if they refuse to stop but really really hope they do. Kids who are taken very often turn up dead and or raped, at the same time it could be a parent with a nutcase child. I'd rather we all sort it out with an Leo present.
