The two were already shot, it is an after the fact statement.
Yes, I realize they were both shot at that point(although it sounds from the words that one is still running down the street, probably after being shot) but he is saying why he shot them.
The perps may have run toward him, and once they were in his yard(his claim) he may have thought his life was in danger and defended himself.
Whether he is telling the truth or not, others will decide.
What was he supposed to do? Tell the scum to wait a minute while he called 911 to let them know they have now stepped onto his property so now he will shoot them? Unless I’m understanding differently than you.....The way I see it, he went out there w/ his shotgun, yelled something at them and they came towards him, onto his property and he went bang bang. He then called 911 back.
