I guess anything can happen in Texas, BUT...

Shooting someone who is climbing in your bedroom window is one thing. Going outside to chase down and shoot someone who is fleeing the scene with stolen property is quite another.

I'm not saying that they didn't deserve to be removed from the gene pool. On an emotional level I agree with the homeowner. The court may not see things that way, though. The right to defend yourself usually, in the strict legal sense, does not allow you to pursue and kill someone for a property crime.
