Shooting at a fleeing armed subject is a tough one to call and there is no yes or no answer.
If the BG is fleeing, one might argue to let him go as that removes the threat from you.
Shooting him does not guarantee an instant stop (except on the Internet). Having been shot and not disabled the BG, rather than fleeing may stay in the fight and kill you or a bystander.
As a heuristic, I would state that if the BG is going full blast out the door - wave bye - bye. If his or her movements towards the door indicate that you are still engaged, that's different.
If he is going out the front door, the back door looks appealing to me.
Certainly, don't chase him. Folks have done that and been prosecuted.
