A 'warning shot' is considered 'deadly force'? I realize a gun can be but how is an intentional warning shot deadly force?
Also, most people in this thread it appears would be good to have as neighbors. A select few however, are apparently as useful as a burnt match.
My LEO days were over in '75 and I am not any kind of expert of NH law. But, I am suspicious there would be a case for menacing in the warning shot especially if the bad guy coming out the window was not showing a weapon. In some states menacing is a felony. But this is all arm chair second guessing.
