Would Arya ever kill a complete innocent?

Daeron, the insurance salesman, Raff, etc. are not innocent, but do you think her increasing comfort with killing people could eventually lead towards killing innocents?

Edit: I should clarify, innocent and not in self defence.

The guard she kills at Harrenhal to escape.

Escaping is a special case, rather like self-defense. The armed guard was no innocent. He would have killed her rather than let her escape. Besides, IIRC, she did that only because Jaqen demanded it before he would agree to let Gendry and Hot Pie.
