Once you start chasing somebody, the heat of the moment argument pretty much starts to fall apart, however. They're running; your fear for yourself is no longer the issue. It generally starts to be about anger/revenge. If you attempt to use non-lethal force and accidentally cross the line, I'd expect you to get in a bit of trouble, but not too much. If you choose to use lethal force, then there will be consequences.
