understood, works about the same way here in NC. snip

However (there is almost always a however), if you know they are
armed, and are running away from you, and you feel the person is running
to a protected area (behind a tree, etc.), where they will then shoot at
you, that could be an exception. In some states this would not be a
viable defense. In one state a woman was charged, when she shot (and I
believe killed) an intruder, who had chased her to her basement. The
claim was, she was "not cornered", and so not in imminent danger, that
she had an escape route she could have taken rather than shoot the
person - the basement window. I don't know the outcome of the case.
Not sure of the state, but seems it was Mass.
