Robber running away, can you shoot him

My wife and I both have our CHL's. She asked me a question I am not certain I know the correct answer. You are robbed at gunpoint. The gunman takes your purse (wife's, I am not there) and starts running away. Can you legally draw your weapon and shoot the robber.He is running away and not a threat to your bodily harm any longer?

I don't think it would be wise to yell to get him to turn around so you could shoot him in the front?

I should know the answer to this, but alas, memory fails me. For some reason, I think you need to be in fear for your life in order to inflict deadly force.
