I have heard that if somebody is on your top floor then you may kill them outright, though I stress that I am not sure of this.
I really don't believe this is likely. What if you live in a flat or a bungalow? Could you kill someone who was in your attic but not if the intruder was in your bedroom? Would this apply if you were in a hotel room? How far down the stairs would the killing zone extend? [These are all rhetorical questions.]
I can't see any legislation differentiating based on the storey.
