Up to and including lethal force provided you did not intend use lethal force. Its a grey area that leave way to much interpretation. If you say you were shooting to kill then your automatically guilty. If you say shooting to wound as you had an immediate threat of grievous bodily harm or death you may be able to have a chance in court. If there was a way you to flee the situation and chose not to take it then you are guilty. This too is up to the interpretation of the officer and the court system.
