you shouldn't have killed it, they are pretty intelligent in their own way, and would do it's best to move away to safety if you threatened it

I had the exact spider in my room just the other day, it did creep me out as it was large like that and a little furry with the white spot on its butt and white spots on its oversized front legs

I took a long broom and the spider moved away from it while keeping its eyes on it as I coaxed it down the wall, onto the carpet, and then across the carpet to the doorway and outside......

They are a type of jumping spider, and would only bite if you squashed into it out of self preservation.... but the reality is that all spiders can bite, just some are worse than others.
