I see you continue to ignore my entirely reasonable suggestion regarding where (and with whom) Watson is living.
Holmes was angry Evans had cold-bloodedly shot Watson, who he is very close to (even if not 'that' close). If Watson had been shot dead I suspect Holmes would have shot Evans - which would have been justifiable also as self-defence, even if Holmes didn't think of it that way.
And this is when my way works perfectly *g* Watson bleeds to death, Holmes shoots Evans, informs Lestrade, having removed the temptation for Lestrade to kill Evans. Everyone assumes it's self-defence, no questions asked.
