It should be clear that you are allowed to defend yourself and others if possible. However, you should be held responsible for the outcome, good or bad. If you fire 10 rounds and one hits a bystander, you should be charged with negligent homicide.

This is where I have to disagree. Why should you not hold the guy who initiated the crime with any resultant after effects, responsible? After all, if a group of 4 initiate a bank robbery and anyone dies, including one of the bank robbers, the surviving bank robbers would be charged with that murder.
