From the tape he fires the two shots fairly quickly. He states that one burglar is down and one is running away. The fact that he didn’t take another shot at the fleeing (and soon to be deceased) burglar could help show that he was looking to preserve his own life, not just blow somebody away. It appears he ceased to engage after the threat had dissipated (IE the burglar was wounded and fleeing)

Still, he starts out from inside his home, behind a lockable door (or maybe with enough guns you don't need locks, I don't know).

The law doesn't require him to retreat, but he left his protective barricade and his cover to go confront these guys.

Once you've got the cops on the way seems to me you'd want to stay behind the barricade and stay covered. That would minimize the chance of the cops shooting you too.

My grandmother was about that age (70) when she and grandpa were confronted by a would-be robber while they were waiting on a bus. She threw her hands up in the air while screaming and knocked the gun out of his hand into the air. Grandpa caught the gun on the way down and held the guy at gunpoint.

They didn't go looking for trouble.

There is a third shot, not following the second quite as quickly as the second followed the first.
