I don't think so. I think the fact that they had taken a gun along to an event like this in the first place would be taken as pre-meditation, regardless of whether they believed themselves to be in immediate mortal danger when they actually fired the shot. Although perhaps it would be enough to get it downgraded to manslaughter. I'd love to hear from a lawyer on this TBH.
