I believe this link I'm providing will be helpful in a basic, general sense.

Addendum:

Generally it must be proven (by you) that you genuinely believed your physical security or life was in danger and that you had no other recourse (could not talk your way out of it or physically escape).

By and large (and very simply), if you are attacked and you cannot get way, and the only means you have of protecting yourself is to fight back to the point of killing your attacker, you MAY have a defense of self-preservation. This can extend to the defense of others in some states--NOT ALL.

Be very aware though, that even if you have the defense, a crime has still been committed, it is only that you MAY have been legally justified in committing that crime.
