I wasn't there but I think I would have kept it holstered until clearly necessary.

Need to know distance and position of all involved.

Yeah wait until you are ready to shoot. Then pull it ant as soon as the muzzle lines up with the target, shoot. No talking. No waving. Just pull it line the target and muzzle and start pulling the trigger. You snooze, you lose.
