Give the circumstances:

Report of a man with a rifle at a house.
Upon arrival the police hear two shots.
A man with a rifle appears at the corner of said house.
Although the man did not point the rifle directly at the LEO, the rifle is at a low ready in the general direction of the LEO.

So, is the LEO supposed to wait to see if the rifle goes from low ready to pointing at the LEO before engaging?
If so, what if the man does so and the LEO does shoot first and misses and the man with the rifle does not miss.

This is a close call but I side with the LEO.
