Hypothetical self defense situation.

I’m curious if people believe this is justified and how different states would handle it.

Let’s say there is a traffic collision. One party is clearly at fault. Both parties stop and the at fault party is ready to exchange insurance info.

The wronged party is particularly upset and gets up in the others face and begins making verbal threats.

The individual at fault is carrying and informs the other individual that they are carrying and instructs them to back up.

The unarmed irate individual escalates the situation further by increasing the threats of physical violence and then pushes the individual carrying.

The person carrying backs up and draws their firearm. The irate individual begins moving towards the individual with the firearm and they are then shot.

Is this a justified shooting in your mind. Does the car accident play any role in the legality of the situation? How would different states respond to this?
