When I took my LTC/CHL class many moons ago, the instructor advised two things that I keep in mind always. (1) you are responsible for every bullet from the time it leaves the gun to the time it comes to rest. (2) Once the bad guy starts running away, don't shoot because you are no longer in immediate danger. His advice was predicated on you don't want to hit a bystander. I keep that in my mind anytime I think I might have a situation.
