Sounds like he did the right thing. 
"Officers on the scene said the owner, who was armed with a gun, fell asleep and woke up to find someone inside his store".

Ya know what the tragedy is? This idiot thought he had an opportunity to get away with someones property, but what is sad, is he has put great strain on this poor guy that had to kill him.
I mean, how selfish this idiot was for putting the shop owner in this position.

Now the shop owner will go to bed every night with the last thought of the day being the reality of taking a life and the guilt related to that fact.

But some will pity the thief, and forget who the real victim, the guy that has to live with the fact he killed someone.

I have been in this situation before, even fired 6 rounds at the scumball, all on target, he was just lucky I was an excellent shot and didn't see the 6" steel cement filled pole in front of his chest due to blending of scenery.
But I am so glad I never killed him, I wouldn't want that on my conscience every day.

Yeah, this scum bag was purely selfish, not only was he taking someones property that he had no right to, he forced them to make a decision none of us honest people should have to make.

Hell, the Sheriff in Madison County got on the radio and told people to ventilate anyone breaking into their homes or businesses.

Yep same stuff here, the people are protecting their own.  Nit before last, we ate at Applebees, the server was telling us he fully expected the Army to come in and shut them down.  He also told us that a resident in his complex got broken into,,,the person was home and shot the intruder in the face...  3 businesses down from our hotel someone bashed out the
chevron window....
Our job here is don.   Himself fixed her generator, someone had methodically put plant matter inside the carb. he got it all clean and cleared up and its u[ and running..
