They shot this guy 11 times! I have no problem with self-defense shooting, but isn't that a bit excessive? I'd love to see if there was any analysis of the angle of the bullets to see if he was still standing though all of this, or if they shot him repeatedly after he hit the ground.

Now, if he was loaded on morphine I can see where he might have been resistant to fall at first, but it strains credulity that he didn't go down after the first half-dozen shots hit him.

Excessive? Why does it even matter how many times the intruder was hit, or how many shots are fired? The real question is: do I have the right to use deadly force in self-defense or not? If I do have that right then the number of hits is immaterial, since the end result is the same. There aren't varying degrees of "deadness", dead is dead wether from one shot or eleven.
