In my mind it did not. Everyone can shoot the target because he/she is frightened the target could be armed. But that is not professional, that is putting one's own life above the targets (who's guild is not proven yet and who's danger is not imminent... no weapons visible).

So 2 wrongs make a right or how am I meant to understand that?

Okay, so why do you bring it - enriched by your own POV - into the discussion in the first place? (just a rhetorical question)
