That one sure does sound bad.
Gun pointed at person-stupid.
Finger on trigger- double stupid.
Im thinking this is the new dilemma in LE. Trying to figure out if your in an ambush or not vs a real situation. Big differences in approach to each but probably truly difficult to ascertain quickly on scene... Probably another case for why the training ante needs to be upped in a big way for some departments.

SAPD: Woman fatally shot while shielding friend from domestic violence
SAN ANTONIO -- A woman was killed early Friday morning outside her northwest San Antonio apartment while trying to shield a friend from domestic violence, San Antonio police said.
Officers said the victim and her friend were headed home from their workplace to her apartment in the 4000 block of Medical Drive. Her friend's boyfriend was waiting with the victim's fiancé at the apartment.
Officers said the suspect thought the two women took too long to return after work. He confronted his girlfriend. The victim, in her 20s, shielded her friend from the physical attack. Investigators said the situation became so intense that the victim pulled out a licensed handgun.
Police said the suspect somehow got his hands on the victim's handgun and fired it twice. The victim fell on her friend's body, still shielding her.
The suspect yanked his girlfriend from under the victim's body as she fought to stay alive. He and the woman left with the murder weapon through a nearby fence.
