When an armed citizen spotted a 26-year-old "physically fighting" with an 18-year-old woman, he knew he had to act. Despite giving the man multiple warnings to stop assaulting the female or else he would shoot, the assailant continued to punch and bite the woman, after which he began stomping on her head. The woman finally broke free, and ran behind the passerby for protection. The violent man then advanced toward the two, forcing the armed defender to act, killing the man.
