This is one of those situations where a little bit of embellishment goes a long way:
"After the thief stole my car he started driving dangerously towards other cars and buildings. I was afraid he would hurt someone in addition to getting away, so I took steps to deal with the threat."

Quite the opposite, actually. Read the law I posted. It is cut and dry. Nothing more needs to be added. "Embellishing", especially saying something like what you've posted, is the worst thing you can do.
"He was in the commission of theft of my property at nighttime and was immediately fleeing with my property. There was no other way to recover my property and using force less than deadly force would have placed me at risk of serious bodily injury or death to myself. I have nothing else to add."
Any other statements would be limited to establishing that your belief was "reasonable." Not your actions. Your belief.
