Where does it say the boyfriend hurt anyone?It doesn't. Just saying, I'm inclined to intervene if there is a domestic problem involving a member of my family.

We all make our own decisions, but I'm going to stand by my position of never under any but the most dire circumstances intervene in a domestic dispute. Family or not. I've had to respond to too many of them over the years and often well meaning family members make things worse.
Besides the physical danger involved in intervening, you have the added danger of criminal charges if you make threats or step in and physically remove the person you aren't related to. It's best to stay as far away from a domestic as you can.

If I had insisted on using my own intuition and reasoning instead of just blindly following along, I wouldn't have got myself into that mess. I think that's the key lesson I'm bringing home from this one.

What everyone else said, x10.
I work in the mental health field, so I get to see how and where these "bad decisions" folks end up. She doesn't need rescued from her bad decisions, she lives for them. She just likes manipulating other well-meaning folks like yourself into joining her side so she has backup, but really she is as bad as the guy is. He's a multiple felon, she likes hanging out, dating, and fighting with multiple felons, ergo they deserve each other.
Next time you get that phone call say "call the cops if you're so worried, or learn to control yourself, it ain't my job..."
Run, don't walk, from people like her, as they are a bottomless pit that sucks you in and uses you up.

He brings up very serious considerations if you are going to use a firearm. You've taken a life. You'll have to live with that. You most likely will be charged with murder. You'll have to face the dead persons family. The media may have a field day with you. You may end up in jail. You may loose your job, your respect, etc.
