Okay, here's the scenario:

I'm in a restaurant with my family and a random guy is holding up the establishment. The guy brandishes a gun and threatens to kill everyone in the building for no apparent reason. My wife has a gun, which sole purpose is self defense, and I think about using the gun to dispatch the threat. If the guy holding up the building kills a customer and is ready to kill more (going table to table killing everyone) is it lawful to kill him?

So, basically, if I can prevent more deaths by killing the "bad guy" will I go to jail?

Remember: This is a pure scenario and is fueled by nothing more than my boyish curiosity.
