I wouldn’t have given them a warning shot.

Nor would I. We were always taught, that the requirements for a warning shot, were exactly the same, as a shot right at the perp. Therefore, no warning shots.

Exactly right IMO. If a “warning shot” has to, by necessity, be followed with a killing or injuring shot it creates a crack that a prosecutor might stick a crowbar in to leverage open a “you weren’t really in fear for your life” line of attack. If not a prosecutor then a lawyer with a civil suit.
