And that's the incredibly wonderful thing about these opportunities. Friendships are forged and enemies are made. People get to interact on a level they never would have before. It's a very deep topic that can bring characters closer together under a banner or alienate them otherwise. This is how a lot of unexpected, server-wide and incredibly fun, spontaneous events get started. The potential is huge for those involved, and really shouldn't be shunned or swept under the rug or retconned. I suppose if that's something the player wants to somehow do, whatever. But officers/upholders of the law/whatever should know that they have a chance to kill someone when they shoot at them or try to stop him, just as soldiers know that going to war inevitably means someone is going to die by their hands.
He may not have meant to kill the person, but people avoid going to hospitals for wound treatment due to various reasons and die. It's not necessarily the person's fault, and some may sympathize with them while others may wish them dead for what they did. I just personally feel that the RP community as a whole has a lot of interaction that they can gain with this, and to stifle it just feels.. wrong.
