I'm with dude, dalmations, et al... shoot the bastards.

I agree that it has happened way too many times.
That is not my issue though. Maybe the guy you wounded had an ankle gun hidden, and you shoot him in the leg. He falls, pulls the gun -- shoots you, and your dead.
What were you trying to do? You either let him go if you aren't in imminent danger, or you kill him, if you are.
IMO -- 99% of the time Property isn't worth dying or having to take a life over.
