Shoot to stop. That may be achieved by killing, but the goal is to stop an attack. When the threat ceases, you cease shooting.

The problem with “shoot to kill” is that becomes your goal ... and if the attack stops and the threat ends but the assailant is still alive, your preset auto-pilot goal will be to continue until he’s dead - and that’s murder.
