Most countries require an appropriate level of force for self defense. Killing someone for stealing your money, especially after the fact when they're already running, is usually not part of that. And neither is Turkey part of "The West". Erdogan made damn sure of that not going to happen any time soon.

Chasing someone who just robbed is an appropriate response. The article indicates the robbers then escalated the threat by firing a sidearm at the robbed. The robbed responded with an equal level of force.

He didn't just chase them, he rammed into them and into a wall or something, consequently killing them. And no, the article doesn't state that he was shot during the pursuit. It says that he was following the suspect who shot him.
