If they were wearing their ball caps backwards, maybe homeowner couldn’t tell they were running away.

New rule for firefights. When the bad guy runs for cover you can not shoot until he shoots you first.

The one who almost got away...
“meanwhile, was released from prison in May 2014 after serving nine years for two armed robberies, one in Akron and one in Barberton.
He was arrested and bailed for the Barbeton robbery in 2005, and while awaiting trial he robbed the home of a couple who he tied up and hit with a shotgun.”

The blame for this rests squarely on the justice system that sets these people loose.

“I shot an intruder in self defense.”

That is NOT what to say. DO NOT admit you shot anyone except on the advice of your lawyer.

You have to say something to the 911 operator so the cops know you are the homeowner and not an armed criminal. The word intruder is important. It’s not a bad idea to give the operator a description of yourself as well, just to be sure they don’t shoot you, especially if you are holding a suspect at gunpoint. I don’t think there’s anything in that one line that can harm you in court. Beyond that, shut up.

Good line of questioning. Are you a defense lawyer?

Two armed burglars running away pose a threat to anyone they encounter in the vicinity. I know a cop can shoot a fleeing felon who presents a danger to the public at large, why should the homeowner not be able to do the same?

Colorado has a Make My Day law. It would probably come down to were they still in the house or had they gotten outside. Inside the house any fear of bodily injury no matter how slight justifies deadly force. So, the possibility they could wheel and fire probably supports the defense here.

I live in Texas. It is approx 40 yards from my house to the front gate. There won't be enough drop to bother my center mass aim point until you clear my property.

BTW It takes 911 a long time to get out this far and I won't be in a big hurry to call, you just might bleed out.

Tell the cops that you’re having chest pains and find it hard to breath.

I tend to agree. I can see the word getting out for in house invasions and burglaries, when caught just to make a slow turn and slowly get out. No crime committed.

This will plead out. Prosecutor isn’t going to find a jury who will convict. No way.

but if the suspects were simply trying to get away, the homeowner is in trouble.

Not if I'm on the jury.

Here’s the thing; you’re in your home and two thugs break in. Your heart races, adrenaline overwhelms your system, and you are in fear. Then, the thugs decide to run away. All of those physical influences don’t just leave with the home invaders. They’re still there, and whose fault is that? Why is the victim expected to behave in an unrealistic way, while the criminal is not?
