No, in my country killing someone in self-defense fits the description of murder, i.e. killing another human being, but it's justified because I had no choice. Theoretically murder is killing someone else so murder in self-defense is still murder, it fits the description, but it is justified and therefore penalties are excluded. At least this was what I studied in law school, the US may have a different conception of self-defense.
