Another hypothetical, little-acorn, could be that your car breaks down an illegal immigrant is crossing the road just as you get out of your car. A Minuteman fires and the bullet misses the immigrant and kills you.
Minutemen are typically UNARMED. Even if they were not, there is no shooting going on, or perhaps you could identify a single reported instance of this?
She might, if she had any sense, give the Minuteman a medal for a retrospective abortion!!
The term you want is retroactive, not retrospective.

Yes, the language police were necessary here.
