In my experience, the reason your instructor said what he did is this: For legal purposes, you never want to say you tried to kill him. You never try to kill an attacker. You only tried to stop the threat.

Again that is for legal purposes. If you are being attacked, stopping the attack usually means a dead attacker. Also, I would try to prepare for what you would do, after an attack, should that ever happen. You will be treated like a criminal. There are several schools of thought on what to say after something happens. Some believe you should tell the cops the whole story. some believe you shouldn't tell the cops anything other than basic information they will need from you like name, etc. and you will be fully willing to comply with their investigation after you speak with your legal council. And there are several in between.
