Agreed- at least shot AT, but:

This guy turned the gun on himself- if you wounded him, there's a chance he'd just off himself, when you're dealing with those kind of mentally unstable types.

Is there a good chance he'd shoot me, even kill me? Sure, the odds are not in the pistol's favor... but again, I'm sure living with myself after doing nothing would be very difficult.

the other side is that I wasn't there, I didn't see cover (or lack of), and where innocent bystanders were- I haven't even looked at the layout of the area. If I worked there every day, I'd sure know it.
