This is in the wrong section, it should be here or here. Regardless, I'll respond, since I'm the staff member that handled the report you made.
There was no way for him to have seen Visson crowbarring you, given Bob Saget's position in the death scene. I've recorded it from your angle and from his angle to show that this is the case; there was no direct line of sight. While he did shoot you for defending yourself, this was information he was lacking and that you could've attempted to provide while being shot (assuming you didn't). This is not his fault, since given his position there's no way he could've obtained this information and not felt like he was in danger. You've told me that another staff member has slain you for a similar situation, but there's nothing addressing a situation like this one in the rules, which I believe leaves it to staff discretion. I'm of the opinion that if someone couldn't possibly have information regarding a certain situation, they shouldn't be slain for it, as this is a failure on the part of the person who defended themselves. I am consistent in enforcing it this way.
Here's the video in question;
