Well, that's your personal moral decision, but most theologans and other philosophers will make a distinction based on circumstances, such as self defense or the defense of another.
I would have not a single regret in defending my 8 year old step daughter from such an individual (or in defending anyone else in similar circumstances, for that matter).
