My first concern is my own survival and well-being. If I shoot the man and subsequently save 100 people, then I could still be imprisoned. It's not clear whether or not I would be killed by the resulting meltdown if I don't shoot him. If I won't be killed then the lives of 100 strangers are not worth my going to prison. This is all assuming the man is completely ignorant (thereby innocent) of what he is about to do. If a man was able to be proven guilty of intentionally trying to kill hundreds, then I would shoot him.
