The books
Just reading Animal Farm now, which is the second story-arc in the Fables comics, and Snow blasted Shere-Kahn until he was presumably dead. He begged her for mercy after she shot him the first time but she filled him fill of lead nonetheless. Now, I personally don't begrudge someone fighting for their life taking out their possible killer before he can take her out, but based on her attitude in the game she seems like a bit of a hypocrite, no? It always bothered me at the start of part 4 where she admonishes Bigby for turning slightly Wolfy when he was getting railed with shot after shot from the shotgun. Had he not turned, I suppose the fight would have been over much sooner to the same result, but in his mind he was fighting for all three of their lives. It didn't seem he really had much choice. The shell blasts were too powerful for him to overcome them in his human form and they were not stopping the shooting. Anyway, I get that she's pissed and afraid and fighting for her life with the Tiger, I just think he was doing the same, plus trying to protect her.
So, I guess the insight I'm looking for is shouldn't the game be catered toward the personalities of the characters from the comic which it's based on? Or is Snow just a hypocrite and I'll find that out as I keep reading?

keep reading ,you'll find out Shere-Kahn is a untrustworth villain
Shere Khan wasn't just a criminal who would have been secured for trial. What could she do with him? He was an agent in an ongoing insurrection and she was trying to escape with her life.
As has been mentioned, Shere Khan is extremely untrustworthy. If she gave him mercy, there is nothing to say he wouldnt have killed her immediately.
