The dead man was, by definition, a prowler. It doesn't matter what his job was. Prowling around somebody elses house at night is likely to get you shot.

If there wasn't any mention of the dead man's profession then most of the people on here would be lauding the homeowner and saying it was a good shoot. The dead man's job doesn't change that. The fact that he was a cop means that there is a very high chance the perp was armed while prowling around the house which would make it a perfectly legal shooting in many states as it puts the life of the homeowner and his family in jeopardy.
