In New York, if a fleeing suspect had committed a violent felony, was still armed, and presented an immediate danger to the community at large, pursuing police could lawfully use deadly force to stop him. Citizens were restricted to using deadly force only to stop a deadly attack, but couldn't use it to stop flight, no matter what the BG had done.
