I don't think Emma was paying attention to the possible fatality of the wound, I think she was panicing because he was falling through a portal. So, in her mind, she just saw him get shot and fall to who-knows-where, and in her shock, she believed he died. To everyone else, they probably assumed the wound had been fatal, when in reality, it probably wasn't, if it could be healed by Aurora/Mulan/Phillip.
