And if lethal force is justified, then detaining them will depend on the severity of the wounds. If they are determined to leave, let them.

There are times when the THREAT of deadly force is legal even when actual use of deadly force is not. There are also times when deadly force may be technically legal and a weapon is presented with no intention of firing it unless the BG escalates the situation farther. Armed robbery where the BG has a knife but is on the other side of the counter is one example.
