2:11
According to Acts 7:3 Moses was forty years old at this point, and Moses had been brought up in Pharaoh’s household. However, he obviously maintained an affinity with his own people. Having been nursed by his mother at an early age she probably instilled in him the fact that he was a Hebrew, an Israelite. He saw the increasing burdens that his people were under and saw a particular incident of an Egyptian mistreating an Israelite.
2:12
Moses didn't just feel bad about the situation, he intervened directly. He killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand. We will see much later that Moses had a temper, which ultimately prevented him from entering the Promised Land. His actions here may have been partly a product of that temper.
