Your 'moral code' suggests that it perfectly acceptable for your group to murder someone who is only (so far) challenging a trespasser and thief on *their* land.
I hope I never meet you or yours either before or after an event.

It's an extreme scenario that we are unlikely to come across. Consider this though, if you were in that position, scavenging for oil and unarmed and a man, hungry and twitchy appears behind you with a shotgun pointed at you, what would you want to happen? Chances are that someone in that scenario is going to lose their life. Would you rather wait until he pulled the trigger before your group helped you? Of course I don't advocate murder. I was replying to a question about a fictitious scenario and that is one possible outcome. If I was in that situation and my son was covering me from a ditch then it's quite conceivable that he would act once he realised I was in danger. Obviously it's not a desirable outcome. If it's any consolation, I'd kick my son's ass afterwards.
