“My suggestion for a verbal challenge is something simple like, “Stop! Get back!,” as this clearly states your intentions without sounding like you are making a threat. Remember, the point of using deadly force is to stop your attacker. It is never your intention to kill your attacker. If your attacker dies as a result of your reaction to his attack, that is unfortunate, but you needed to stop that attack to protect yourself or another innocent person.”
