Couldn't he have just shot them in the leg? 
Im sure a shot gun to the leg would definitely stop the criminals from running

I hold a conceal-carry permit, work related. In any type of conceal-carry training you are always taught to shoot to kill, never to wound, deadly force always being the last resort. Also, dead criminals don't testify, sue over injuries, or seek revenge. I'm on the fence on this one, it's hard to comment without all the details. But I will say this, "An armed society is a polite society."
Ah I didn't know that. hmm oh ya so what did you think of my vanity plate suggestion for you, using "550" as in "PI550ff" ?

They didn't shoot, so I think JDN would be upset that the guy killed them, but he would also defend the right to protect own and neighbours property, and he would definately defend the right to bear arms.
The guy should have been trained better. Then they would still be alive and the neighbour would be the good guy who stopped them.
