Guy had broke into my house and he had his back to me I was armed with an SCAR 17. I told him to put his hands behind his head but he refused I told him to show me his hands but he refused. The guy then quickly turned and shot me in the gut. I shot him in return and killed him but the damage had been done. I had been shot and would probably die from that wound.

My question is...... When is it OK to shoot someone in the back?

16-3-23. Use of force in defense of habitation

A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to prevent or terminate such other's unlawful entry into or attack upon a habitation; however, such person is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if:

(1) The entry is made or attempted in a violent and tumultuous manner and he or she reasonably believes that the entry is attempted or made for the purpose of assaulting or offering personal violence to any person dwelling or being therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the assault or offer of personal violence;

(2) That force is used against another person who is not a member of the family or household and who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using such force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred; or

(3) The person using such force reasonably believes that the entry is made or attempted for the purpose of committing a felony therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of the felony.

Edit to add.....forgot you are in Alabama now....better ask a Alabaman.
