This is for you Brain357, Joe, and AtticusF...
See, this is one of the hazards pointed out in gun studies as to why it is difficult to get complete numbers on defensive gun uses...here is a guy with his wife threatened by 8 thugs....he draws his weapon to warn the aggressive thugs off...and they don't back down...he fires a warning shot...trying not to kill anyone...and when the police show up...he gets in trouble for shooting the warning shot...

No one was shot, no one was killed, the guy used his gun to stop a criminal assault....and in firing a warning shot he is the one in trouble...
This is why if the criminals had run away, he may not have called the police...

Video WV Sunday School Teacher Arrested For Warning Shot After Being Accosted by 8 Suspects
A WV Sunday school teacher, Chris Harris, who was on his way home from church with his girlfriend is now facing serious criminal charges after firing a warning shot into the air.
According to WTOV,
“It was one of the most scariest experiences I have ever been though,” said CC Roxby, Harris’ fiancé. “They surrounded me saying some pretty vulgar things like they were going to rape my wife in front of me, cut me,” Harris said. Roxby said she called 911, but one man continued to be aggressive.
“The kid kept advancing on me, saying it wasn’t a real gun, and I would much rather shoot a shot into the air to prevent them from attacking me rather than them attacking me and me shooting someone,” Harris said.
“The cruisers were coming down the street at that point and the young men ran away,” Roxby said. “Instead of them following the gang, the officers arrested Chris for firing a shot into the air.”
