You can use deadly force, with no duty to retreat, in self-defense or the defense of others, when you reasonably believe such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to yourself. Deadly force is also allowed when you believe it's necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony or criminal interference with property or to terminate or prevent trespass.

Texas and several states have laws along these lines as well.
Some states recognize that lethal force may be necessary to stop certain crimes that are deemed of significance including property crimes. Often there are specific conditions pertaining to the use of lethal force, unique to each state.
