interesting question, and i'm not sure. our local jurisprudence states that shooting a thief who is clearly not posing a threat is considered a crime. the case was a security guard who shot a thief who was holding stolen goods with both hands.
i have read an article that in the USA, a thief was electrocuted by a booby trap and the house owner was prosecuted. i don't know what was the outcome of the case.
