One never attempts what you term a 'fatal shot'. One shoots to stop the threat, period. If a death occurs, and it may, your intention was simply to stop the threat.
Other scenarios are simply situations where you would have to decide if you could articulate that you were in fear for your life. This does not mean that you decide to use deadly force simply because you are scared.
Consider how a jury of reasonable adults would view a perfectly healthy man (assuming you are one) using deadly force when he could avoid contact altogether or simple defensive tactics sans firearm.
Good luck
