I've just finished an ACD Sherlock Holmes fic in which Holmes shot the injured 'villain', whom Watson was trying to patch up, after asking Watson to leave him alone for a moment to interrogate the man. Watson was appalled see that Holmes could kill a man in cold blood but Holmes justified himself by saying that he posed a threat to Watson (he was a blackmailer with influece over the police and knew he wouldn't stay in jail for long, etc etc.)
I'd like to see a similar scene in the BBC 'verse. Yeah, I know Sherlock shot Magnussen in S3 but specifically I'd like to see Sherlock calmly ask John to leave him alone with their suspect/criminal, knowing that John would be upset by his actions and would try to stop him if he was there. John is shocked and upset that Sherlock would kill in such a way.
+ Bonus points if the man Sherlock kills was injured and John had just gone into doctor mode and tried to save his life, even though he despised him.
tl;dr: during an investigation/chase Sherlock kills a man who poses a threat (of whatever nature) to John in cold blood, after asking an unsuspecting John to leave him alone to "interrogate" the witness.
