Don't shoot me.
One of the meanings of tirar is to shoot.

¡Hola!, Kelseaa:
Is he chasing a shooter?
Does the detective have his own gun visible?
Could she be frightened and saying "Don't shoot me !"
"Tire" is from the verb tirar. See its definition here. There are lots of uses for tirar but look at the context surrounding its use in your story to try to discern its meaning in your story.
