Technically speaking there is something wrong with killing a rapist as an act of self-defense. Self-defense only allows necessary force, so unless the guy still goes on after all none murder options were used its considered unnecessary force. Though you if you can prove you did it in self defense (or live in a place on earth where gunning someone down is allowed in self-defense) then most likely you wont be treated the same way a regular murderer would
I'm not a lawyer, if you want to debate about it. In my understanding, a scared and shocked woman doesn't think strategically nor can she carefully measure the force necessary to stop the rapist, and adequate laws/judge/jury should account for that.
From moral point of view, I won't cry about any person who have tried to rape a woman. That is a sick antisocial behaviour, very unlikely to be truly corrected.

Is murder drastic? Unhinged? Violent? MAyBe.
But does it solves your immediate problems? That's the more important question in OP's opinion.
So, if you'll ever have unwanted attention - consider violence and murder!
