Had I been there and saw the attack go down, I would probably have pulled my gun to ensure the victim's safety, pull her out of harms way, and let others call for police and further video this creep. I would not have fired as the use of deadly force was not justified(at that time). Had the creep pulled a gun, then all bets are off.
Pulling your gun in defense of a third party is using deadly force, and you would be justified in doing so if you reasonably believed it was necessary to protect the life of that third party
Deadly force" means force that is intended or known by the actor to cause, or in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing, death or serious bodily injury.

It is not deadly force until you pull the trigger. Drawing the firearm and even holding a person at gunpoint is just "force".
