It definitely looked to me like he targeted areas that would incapacitate him and make him no longer a threat, not kill him. I can't see grounds to justify killing him legally or morally, he clearly wasn't armed and let's be honest was far from a street fighter.If you want to actually kill someone with a knife from behind, you don't stab high in the back. You stab low into the kidneys, intestines, liver etc. A few of those shots will start to cause massive internal bleeding and quick death. I don't think the employee ever intended to kill the robber, just fuck him up.
Since the store owner's carrying the knife he probably knows the law around it too...self defense is a pretty strong rationale for use of force but it's easy to be staring down prison time yourself if you go overboard.
