On a related note, I have never seen a person trying to kill anyone. Rather I have seen movies about a bunch of things that are ostensibly people holding guns, that uncritically standing in the way of their shot paths as if the guns were toys might cause harm for a person choosing to stand in such a foolish place.
English is such a fun language sometimes! So many idioms.
