I would not wait for a lunge and miss. The pursuit, with the attacker approaching into arm's length distance, is more than enough to establish reasonable fear of death or grave injury, i.e., justification for the use of deadly force. I would put my deadline around 0:27 on the video, though 0:06 is also a possibility. And I would acquit anyone who fired in self-defense at any time from 0:01 onward.
