There is thread on this site, in the Real Life Stories section, titled 'Bizarre situation'. http://www.utahconcealedcarry.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1176
Scenario's like this, and Many others, always seem to spark a good discussion that deals with Levels of Force, and when a person is Justified in using deadly force.
Years ago I learned about an acronym called AOJP - Ability, Opportunity, Justification, and Preclusion. I later found a link to a web site that does a great job describing what each term means, and why it's important to have good understanding of it, in case you are faced with a possible 'Deadly Force' encounter.
I think it's a good read. And for you instructors, it's something that should be discussed, or referred to, in training, or when people present you with 'what if' scenario's.
TMG, GREAT Topic. In our CFP classes we talk about "Intent, Opportunity and Capability". I brought this over from my Military days in the Air Force as a cop. I also used the same idea as a civilian LEO.
