I might have fired a warning shot in such a case, for the deterrent effect. It would probably have been sufficient to leave the dead guy in question alive, and keep him and anybody he hung around with from coming around again.
I would not have fired the second shot. It was a bale of hay, and he was leaving. I could only fire directly at someone who chose to come at me after the warning shot. That's my conscience and, I expect in many places, the law, guiding that statement.
