Alright sorry for dragging that out.
If possible and I do catch a rampaging traitor if he has not killed more then three people, I take everything all his items away. If he is a head I demote him according and give him the max time in the brig for the murder(s). That's the only chance they get from me, if they get caught again I will either kill them or ask my officers to quickly brainstorm on his fate and then we vote for the best idea. Granted I only do this if it is not late in the round. The best time I had a vote on a traitor's fate is when we all agreed that turning him into a monkey and letting him loose on the station would be pretty funny, of course we let the crew know that the monkey was the traitor. The monkey did not last long sadly, even the tables could not save him. Voting is fun and involving your officers into these things can be really fun as well.
Now if there is a massive firefight going down and their are multiple crew members in the cross-fire I try my best to protect them and get the attention of the gun man on to me. At that point I do my best to conserve my shot while waiting for a short pause in the fight to quickly radio for back up. At this point everything is out of the question, and there is no choice but to put the gunman down as soon as possible. Also learn how to dodge people there will be many times you are fighting someone armed to the teeth and you will have ran out of ammo and only have a baton.
All in all it comes down to due process. What kind of crime did they commit? What kind of punishment is reasonable?
