Too many posts to read all of them, so my apologies if I'm repetitive. First, to the OP, sleep well tonight. All in all, you did the right thing. Had you not stepped in, there's no telling where it could have gone. You definitely don't want a dispute to turn into the lead story on the noon news.
Second, I can't believe how many people would just close the blinds and go on watching Wheel of Fortune. What if it was an abduction, rape, etc. in progress. I agree that the first thing to do is to get 911 on the horn, but there's no reason that you can't do more than that. Actually, if it were me (and it was, in one situation), I would call 911 and keep them on the phone the WHOLE time until police arrived. There may not be video, but at least there would be an audio recording of what happened. (And if this were the situation and you had a gun, let the dispatcher know who you are and exactly what you're wearing and MAKE SURE they relay that to the responding officers.)
Third, as already stated, a warning shot is a no no. I'm sorry you have to deal with the legalities of firing a shot since you were in the right, but hopefully it's minor and settles quickly in your favor.
Again, you did the right thing and don't second guess it now. (Just remember no warning shots in the future!)
