I believe "fear" could be used against you by a clever DA...
"Fear" could be misconstrued as your not being able to reasonably determine (think clearly) a proper course of action in response to a perceived threat...
It may be a stretch, but I like to think outside the box from time to time...
"I was gravely concerned that the threat to me, my family and the public was so violent and deadly, that I could not see any other way to remove ourselves from the area, or difuse the situation, other than to "stop" the threat/attack from continuing with the use of deadly force..."
"No, I was not in fear, but I was deeply concerned for my safety and the safety of others around me at the time..."
(All of this of course, after consulting an attorney, and having one present at the time of the investigation.)
Just my opinion, and something for y'all to ponder...

I recommend you attend the Texas CHL Forum Day at the PSC range this September...
I have not looked at the schedule, but Charles Cotton (founder of this website) gives a lecture/seminar on situations and the aftermath of possible incidents like this...
I highly recommend folks attend this discussion...I have attended it a couple of times, and it is almost the ultimate "gut-check" you can take if you are serious about self-defense...
If I recall it is almost a standing room only affair, so sign up early and often!
