Since the shooter wasn’t a police officer and there’s nothing to suggest that the burglars, as opposed to robbers, were armed, that’s a moot point.

Correction: the baseball bats probably do qualify as armed but the fact that they were fleeing indicates that lack of a threat.
I think the homeowner is in hot water.

Since I am opposed to caste systems, one set of rules for us and another set of rules for the ruling elites, I am of the opinion that if it’s legal for a cop to shoot someone, it should also be legal for a civilian to do the same under the same circumstances.

Police said two masked teens armed with BB guns and baseball bats were in the process of robbing the home of Eraldo Iannitelli shortly before 6 a.m. when he returned home.I'd respectfully submit that when Mr. Iannitelli entered his residence and saw guns and bats it was constructively a robbery.
