Didn’t realize he shot up the neighborhood.
I’d still let him off for temporary lack of judgement in the face of what was happening with his daughter.
And I’m still not happy with the state going after him.

Investigators with the sheriff's office said that had Casillas allowed the unwelcome guest to leave after the thrashing, they might not have pursued legal actions against him, reported Fox 5 Atlanta.But then Casillas went a step farther by allegedly asking his wife to bring him his gun.
Humphries jumped out of a bedroom window in an effort to escape, but Casillas was waiting for him in the front yard, where the beating continued, according to investigators.
The aggrieved parent allegedly threatened Humphries' life and fired shots as the bloodied and bruised 20-year-old fled.
Georgia law allows homeowners to use force to defend themselves and their families from intruders, but only so long as they present a threat.
As least he missed. I won't feel bad if a jury lets him off, or if he pleads to a lesser charge. I'm not sure this warrants a felony conviction with potentially 20 years. But gunowners should realize once the threat is over, you don't get to shoot at a criminal. It can land you in jail, can even land a LEO in jail.
