I'm kind of torn on this. On one hand, they broke into his home and attacked him. That would say he has the right to defend himself.
On the other hand, they were fleeing at the time of the shooting, with the woman begging for her life. Shooting seemed like an unnecessary escalation of the situation.
Which, while I am completely in favor of the 2nd amendment and gun rights, seems to be the mindset of a lot of these gun owners - I have a gun, and I'm gonna shoot you whether it's necessary or not. It's this mentality that leads to situations like this, George Zimmerman & Trayvon Martin, and the situation awhile back where the guy shot a car full of black teens because he "thought" he saw a gun.
The woman certainly did herself no favors by participating in a home invasion in the first place, so on that level it's hard to feel too much sympathy for her. But I feel like shooting her was an unnecessary escalation given she was fleeing at the time of the shooting.
