I don't have any problem with killing others for defense, assuming that's what happened. If someone breaks into your house and you shoot them in the leg and can hold them there until the police get there but decide to shoot them in the head while you wait.... that's murder. Again, assuming that person is able to be controlled and no longer a threat to you. If there's still a good chance that person can do you harm, may as well shoot them and protect yourself. If the person rushes at you and you shoot them in the chest and kill them I don't see how anyone could call that murder. That person should not have been in your house or attacking you...
