The UK has similar rules.

There was a case a few years back where a farmer shot 2 teenagers burglarizing his house, with a shotgun. The papers made a stink about it. It turned out that he was only charged for the second. The first was shot in the chest, in his house. The second was shot in the back, while running up his drive. The first was "reasonable self defence", the second was manslaughter.
