So, two guys engaged in road rage, stop together at a red light. One gets out of his vehicle, thinks about it, goes Back to his vehicle and grabs a knife. That guy, Exell Hicks then proceeds to move directly towards the other driver with the knife. The other driver, still in his car, fires three 9mm rounds from his open window that kill Hicks from a distance of 5 feet.
A driver fired three shots killing the man who came at him with a large knife near Armory square, authorities say.

Hicks, by the way, had assaulted someone with a knife before, stabbing that person in the face. Of course, the shooter here did not know that information, but it lends a Lot of credibility to literally "fearing for one's life".
My question: Should he have pulled his gun to be visible to Hicks and barked at him to go back to his vehicle?
