rejected.content: That is dependent on the state in which you live and the specific rules of self-defense. You should speak with a legal professional to understand your rights and the appropriate course of action. In general, if you fear great bodily harm or death, you may use deadly force in self-defense. However, it is generally not recommended to shoot anyone in the back as they are fleeing, as this could be classified as an unjustifiable killing.
