I agree with both points. I don't think that pulling their weapon was a crime. Had they shot him the only reason I would call it a bad shooting is they claimed they were in fear for their life and not in fear of her life. Think of it like this... guy comes up behind you and grabs your friend, g/f, wife, child, etc. Places a knife to their throat. and says give me your money. At this point you are in fear for their life not yours however, you are still justified in shooting them.
