I am inclined to shoot because an armed and dangerous person is on the loose who very well may hurt someone else.

I note that you are in Louisiana. In LA, that is not a valid reason or approved justification for shooting someone.

but if an attacker has a gun out, you can only assume he's means to hurt you.

Actually, that is a rather poor assumption.

Just because he's now in the car doesn't mean you are out of danger. What if he intends to shoot the witness?

It's a pretty good bet that if he wantged to shoot the witnesses he would have done it long before this point.
