No, you cannot shoot someone dead in the back as they try to escape, as this would be considered murder and could get you into serious legal trouble.

No, you cannot shoot someone dead in the back as they try to escape. It is considered murder and is against the law. Additionally, as the situation arises in a private residence, it is not necessary for self defense and you would be unlikely to escape prosecution.
