Home defense

[Bullwinkle]

I think it was adrenalin and fear... these guys aren’t professional burglars or gun guys. I think the situation got away from them. Couple of amateurs high on adrenalin me thinks. All about a couple of hundred dollars of pot.
Shooting someone in the back - un pardonable – but usually an act of cowardice or fear - a warning shot in the air would have done the job.
The second round at the knees if he the intruder needed to be stopped
One thing that hasn’t been asked – How did the intruder know the plants were there? Had the shooter told him? Did they know each other? Let’s see how this plays out before forming opinions.
