That is a unique situation.

Every use of force encounter is unique.

We have been questioning if an unarmed attack really rises to a level that would allow or necessitate the use of deadly force.

Actually, we started out looking at the justification of non-deadly force.

Interestingly enough advancement, even after the use of deadly force (the aggressor had been shot), seems to be evidence of the requirement of the use of deadly force.

I don't see it quite that way.
The defender had a gun in his hand, and the attacker pursued him "to the wall" as he tried to escape, in a stand your ground jurisdiction. The risk was not one of the unarmed attacker's use of force to cause death or serious bodily harm; it was one of the attacker
taking the gun and using deadly force.

As has been said, the defender would have been a
lot better off had he had the ability to use a less lethal option.
From a tactical standpoint, he would have been better off not leaving the store.
The existence of the video probably helped the defender a great deal in a number of ways here.
