In the US there is the example of Korean shopkeepers defending their businesses from the Rodney King rioters (I think that was the event) using AR-15 so-called "assault rifles" from the rooftops.
Do you know whether they were charged eventually? Tried wikipedia and google, but didn't find much.
From the tactical viewpoint, this example would suggest that firing at the crowd wasn't that effective. It seems the crowd didn't disperse and just waited for them to leave. Of course, it seems they didn't kill anyone (just warning shots in the air).
