Any of you hear about this?

Yup. That shooting was probably a year ago or so.

I believe all these people were “known” in those parts (so to speak). And the shooter and the victim and the shooter's wife knew one-another (at least the victim and the shooter's wife did). And early on it was tossed around that there was some question as to whether or not the victim might have believed he had permission to crash there (from the wife). So there is more, perhaps not confessed or provable, but known on the street.

Charging a homeowner for killing an intruder in an occupied home is a third rail to any prosecutor in Oregon. It just doesn't happen. The folks in Douglas County would have run the D.A. out of town on a rail for pressing charges if they thought the shooter had a leg to stand on.
