Nor should everyone feel compelled to always intervene. You don't always know who started what. What might look like a guy being shot when he's unarmed might also look like someone protecting themselves with their firearm after getting wailed on if you'd only been there to see the whole thing from the start.
Then again, when you can tell what is going on clearly, it's a different story. About five years ago, a local smaller town 20 miles north of me, a bank robber ran out of the bank with a bag of cash, and a patron ran after him, armed with his concealed pistol. The bank robber was shot dead a few minutes later, and after a police investigation, the patron was not charged and only received letters of thanks from other patrons and the bank manager.
