Lots of affected parties all around...poor decisions with deadly consequences.

I have a comment and a question:

I would never shoot "above someone's head" or fire a warning shot on account of my understanding in use of deadly force.

I would be concerned that this scenario as it plays out, could then be twisted into some type of condemning strategy from the late wife beater's lawyer or DA: Hypothetical-- "Well, if you were firing somewhere else besides directly at the threat, then why did you shoot, period?...were you actually at that point exhausted of options? If you didn't mean to shoot at the person are you then possibly up for manslaughter? Just trying to feel out the legal community here for how this could turn out.
