There it is, right in the playbook.  Thanks Krippler.

Sounds like everything went well! I am a bit surprised that Norvel's gang's reaction to him being shot in the face was 'pull out their guns' as opposed to 'shoot people immediately', but possibly I'm just misreading the AP on that one.

Well, Norvell's gang already had their guns out, but they weren't really expecting trouble (which is why I let Doomspot go agro on Nornell instead of seizing by force).  After Norvell got shot, they turned their guns on Doomspot, now ready to fight.

I said "turning their guns on Doomspot" as description, as a reaction to Doomspot shooting Norvell, but they couldn't actually start shooting at this point, because I don't have a move.  I guess I could have described them as starting to shoot, but they wouldn't actually be able to inflict harm until Doomspot seized by force, or missed a move. 

Right?

Follow the fiction. The harm was well established already! If I was feeling lenient I would have them scramble for a few seconds before opening up giving enough time to act under fire to dive for cover.
