In many (all?) states you CAN use deadly force to protect the life of another. This is certainly a scenario with POTENTIAL to be a deadly-force situation, but you don't know yet. And you gotta know before you draw down on someone.

I would sit tight, weapon holstered (or at least DAMNED well concealed), try to position myself surreptitiously (if possible) in such a way that I have an angle on the BG and the backstop is sufficient, and wait and see.

More info needed.
