[John Wick] Would John accept someone's surrender?

So other than Francis, (who John seems to be familiar with) has John ever shown mercy? Like during a gunfight if some random russian goon saw 38 of his co-workers die, then decided "Screw this" and threw down his gun and put his hands up. Would John still put him down?

Yes John would spare someone surrendering or fleeing. 

On a practical level no reason to waste rounds or energy going after non combatants on a personal level he doesnt want to or need to kill every single person, just those in his way.
