And just to let people know this is Deus Ex machinama

An example

A man is running down the road being chased by muggers. They are armed with knives and will kill him if they catch up to him. Suddenly someone in the neigborhood yells " get inside" and throws open their door. The man runs inside and the homeowner shoots and kills both muggers as they break in through a window.

Not Deus Ex machinama

A man is running down the road being chased by muggers. They are armed with knives and will kill him if they catch up to him. Then he finally turns around disarms one and uses the knife to stab the other. ( not deus ex machinama as he did this without an object / person made to solve the situation )
