/agree ... does it matter to you if they were in his yard at that point as he states on the later 911 call?

These guys were apparently unarmed. If some unarmed people are trespassing on this guy's property, does he have the right to shoot them? I sure hope not, but I suppose I'll plead ignorant to Texas state law on this one.

law =/= right

I don't have a huge deal of sympathy for people breaking and entering however I don’t think that it's moral to kill at zero range people who are ostensibly unarmed. The mentality of someone who goes out of his way to look for someone to shoot (not that that necessarily happened in this case) is a very very disturbing one.
