Answers:
1. You are justified to use lethal force because the assailant is in fact threatening you with immediate serious bodily harm with a lethal weapon.
2. After use of lethal force, notify authorities immediately and if the BG is wounded, make sure to tell 911 to send medical aid. Do not try to "clean up" the scene or move anything. From this point on, everything in the area is now evidence.
3. If I am knocked down sufficiently that I am also in pain, then I really have no other option because I can't flee or retreat.
4. "Officer, I felt that my life was in danger. I wish to speak with a legal council".
