Well said above by several. The bottom line of the equation is the THREAT. It may be a matter of perspective, mentality, or training, but shooting because you were in "fear for your life, the lives of your loved ones, or the lives of other innocents" may cause some people to stop addressing the threat too early, and start tending to loved ones. I believe you should be focused on the threat and ensuring you neutralize the threat before you address other concerns. Others in the vicinity may be able to address other concerns - stop the bleeding of injured persons, etc. I will respond until I stop/neutralize the threat.
