I don't know if there was a way, but clearly running out of the store and attacking the guy didnt diffuse the situation either. There were probably 4 to 5 critical choices leading to the final outcome, 2 were by the shooter.
The shooter could have not confronted the lady about illegal parking. I would not have.

The woman could have acknowledged there were other spots and moved.

The attacker could have walked out and verbally engaged the shooter, which would have opened many other options

The shooter could have waited to see if the attacker was reaching for a gun or adjusting his waistband.


My point is that the final act of the shot isn't an isolated action and that all 3 players made decisions that escalated instead of de-escalated the situation.
