That is my point, one has to be careful.  The specific situation in which you find yourself, therefore it is funny for me that when you got to them, that you did not look and make sure whether they had weapons.  One has to be careful, you said that you kept them hostage, but you don't see whether they have weapons with them when he moved his hand.  Maybe he had a bullet in his leg or in his hip and he is touching the place which is painful, then one has to be so careful that you are actually shooting.  Is that what you mean with being careful?
