My problem with the guy is firing a warning shot - in an apartment building(!).
For the sake of the other residents, I’d say the better option would have been to give a verbal warning - and then fire into the perps BODY, if he continued to advance, thus lessening the chance of of an innocent being hurt or killed.
My 2 cents...

I'm with you. Where did this round end up. I support the guy having the weapon, even cappin the intruder, but an apartment building doesn't provide the sort of shielding that might stop a .223 rnd from traveling into an adjacent unit. Unfortunate, but I'd say poor judgment on this guys part.

re: apt building
Residence was an "apartment complex", from the article and looking at a picture. Perhaps they guy was on the ground floor:
"n but I was careful not to fire it at any bodys residence. It was at the ground specifically"

an aimed shot into the dirt is also safe.
