Maybe Texas but far from "most states".
In fact most states do not allow deadly force unless there is imminent
threat of bodily harm, some even qualify that to say you must have no
ability to run away, even inside your house. (I know a guy in Md who
did hard time for it)
If you shoot someone running away in a "blue" state, you are going to
jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200


Correct. Even the police are not allowed to shoot fleeing felons in
most states unless there is a very good reson to do so, the act of
fleeing in and of itself is not sufficient.
