Well, if you put the Supreme Court in that category. See Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985).
Fleeing felon statutes have pretty much been repealed so as a civilian you're looking at making out a case for justifiable homicide if you're a good shot. Imminent danger of death or severe bodily injury and all that. The old rule applies: Don't shoot anybody unless you're left with no choice. Even if justified it'll likely mess with your head.
Should add that Castle Doctrine is a legislative definition of justifiable homicide. Adds no more than that.
