Did Indiana Jones kill anyone besides the sword-swinger?
In the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene in which he calmly shoots a sword-swinging assassin, Indiana Jones reveals that he -- unlike a more-moral Batman-type character -- is not averse to killing.
Still, by my memory of the movies, Indiana Jones rarely kills anyone. Many bad guys die, but Indy rarely causes their deaths.
In fact, I can't remember any direct victims besides the sword-swinger in the first film. Am I forgetting anyone? Across all the movies, did Indiana Jones directly kill anyone besides the sword-swinger in Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Relevant comment included from deleted answer:
My question is focused on direct killing and not "death by omission" and like you, I think the propeller death falls in the omission group.

Indy doesn't always play nice, as can be seen in the video Indiana Jones Body Count:
He shoots people,
throws people into lava,
throws a skewer of pigeon flambé
cuts a bike ride short,
(these are just a few examples, watch the video for more)
The "shooting" of the Arab Swordsman wasn't actually in the script:
Harrison Ford:
"I was in my fifth week of dysentery. I'm riding up to the set at 5.30am and can't wait to storm up to Steven with this idea. We could save four days on this lousy location this way! Besides which, it was right and important - what is more vital in the character's mind is finding Marion; he doesn't have the time for another five-minute fight. But as was very often the case when I suggested it to Steve - 'Let's just shoot the fucker' - he said he'd thought the same thing that morning."
