Myself being close to 23 and getting into a law enforcement career, its horror stories like these that make me nervous!
A lesson I learned from a retired SDSO captain that I worked for for many years.
Don't be afraid to make a decision. Whether you decide to act or not, make a decision and be sure you have a valid reason for that decision. One of the worst answers you can ever give for your actions is "I'm not sure why I did that."
This has been the single most important lesson I have learned in over 16 years of security work.
I don't think it matters if you fire warning shots near occupied houses or the middle of the desert. As I understand it, warning shots are not permitted at all. Once you decide to fire your weapon, it is to kill.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

There isn't an instructor in his right mind that would ever teach "Shoot to Kill". You are trained to "Shoot to Stop the Threat". Lawyers would have done away with police long ago if they were trained to "Shoot to Kill"
