is it justified to shoot someone that is stomping on someone else's head?

hypothetically, you are witnessing a street fight and someone loses and the "winner" starts stomping on the other person's head. Would this be attempted murder and justifies me taking action?

in my state, yes. you should, however, warn the stomper to cease before firing

Not legally.
However the state may choose not to prosecute.

You can at least fire the gun in the air or put in his face to get his attention.

if you drew on them and told them to stop a few times and they didn't I doubt you'd get into trouble. but I didn't even warn them, you'd could end up behind bars.

The person is in danger of loosing their life.


I would say taking shot is justified.
