ELI5: If one day, a youtuber or pranker was shot or killed by performing a prank, what would be the outcome or verdict?

Im thinking in terms of youtube videos where youtubers "pretend" to be zombies or something life threatening, if the victims were to have pulled out a gun or run over them with a car out of fear, shock, or their own safety, what would be the actual result in terms of charges? Sometimes I find it scary, especially in modern times how easy someone could get themselves killed "pranking"

Whether you are doing something for a video or not, the outcome of a trial would be the same. For example if you make someone seriously fear for their life and they shoot you or stab you in the eyeball or something, their claim of self-defense is not affected by a later discovery that you were just making a joke for a video.

It would be wise to avoid terrifying people.
