He showed intent. If he said he was going to go fire warning shots, or if he was going to shoot to disable them it'd be slightly different. But he said he was going to kill them. Intent. They weren't in his house. They had their back to him. Maybe the case could be made they were loading shells, I don't know.
Could I? Not in this circumstance. I don't own a gun, don't plan on it. I think in the adrenaline of a situation where my life or my loved ones life was in imminent danger, perhaps. I wouldn't shoot to kill, and if I did I don't know if I could live with myself. But in regards to this situation? No.
