I believe the guy was in the right, but it could have been handle a lot better. He first should have stopped the guys before they enter the house, which to me constitutes protecting your neighbors. But instead he comes out after the deed is done and shoots the thieves. He is a very lucky guy, b/c he put himself in harms way when their was no reason for it. He did the right thing by quickly calling the cops and the cops responded in a very fast matter. He should have just stayed on the phone and let the cops do their job, b/c he could have been shot by either the thieves or the cops (u never know)

It sounded like he was trigger happy and wanted to play the hero role. In conclusion, If you steal you better be prepared to die
