Had to read the law:
Here is what Washington State Code says about 'justifiable homicide':
So...given the above scenario, where someone has already been shot in an unprovoked act. And now, I'm not sure how much money is going to be stolen, but, I am quite certain the clerk, in my presence is about to suffer 'great personal injury'.
If I am across the store(figure 10 yards) firing from a protected position, which means I probably have the opportunity to shoot from a rest also...I am taking that shot. I am aware that when the police come, I will probably go into cuffs, and my gun will get confiscated. That's why I am 10 more at home for the wife to use to protect herself while I am waiting to be released.
I don't think that is macho talk. Like I said, givn the exact scenario above, I would have no qualms about pulling the trigger.

In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister, or of any other person in his presence or company, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished
