Great68, based on the scenario that you've described, I'd probably lean closer to the castle doctrine too. But for me, the caveat rests on whether the intruders are wielding weapons -- if they are, then obviously they had the intend to harm, or are at least capable of and prepared to do so. In that sense, I think neutralizing the threat, even if they are running away, is not unreasonable.
If there were no weapons, then I'd say you have to let them go.
But obviously, in a fight or flight situation, it wouldn't be so easy to make these well-defined logical decisions.
