"It came in through here went through the garage, hit the electrical panel, went through the bathroom and lodged in the wall," said Eric Thomas of the bullet that hit his home after a neighbor shot at an alleged intruder.
The shooting happened Thursday morning when police said the burglar entered a house located a couple of doors down from where Thomas lives.
Police said the unidentified homeowner interrupted the burglar and apparently shot him as he fled.
DeKalb County police said the homeowner who shot the suspect was charged with aggravated assault because the shots were fired outside of the home.

It’s not that no one will be badly hurt, Glaser Safety Slugs will kill. What they won’t do, is go through the perp, through the wall, across the driveway, into the neighbor’s house and kill the neighbor’s dog as well.
I was referring to what your lawyer might say to a jury, not to their actual effectiveness. I imagine they are pretty effective because they expend all their energy on their target, rather than the walls (or people) behind the target.
