I recall a Tibetan Buddhist teacher at a talk a long time ago saying that if one knew for sure that someone was going to kill lots of people then killing that person would probably be the best option.

But how does one know for sure if one isn't enlightened ? Might this action then perhaps cause other unforseen events which would cause even more suffering? .
