The source I provided has the following:
* 80 unarmed.
* 65 "armed" with a vehicle.
* 180 armed with a knife or other sharp object.
* 59 armed with "another object".
* 670 armed with a gun.
* 73 undetermined.
So sure, let's just handwave that all those armed with a gun and also undetermined were justified self-defense, with whatever definition that carries. That still leaves 384 deaths.
See my other response here regarding my thoughts around "justified" killings:
