When you can shoot, depends if you have the castle doctrine, if you do you can shoot the bg if he is outside your home in the process of breaking in, you dont have to wait tell he hauls himself into your home.

This poor guy was screwed no matter what he did, if he waited till the cops were breaking in and he fired thinking they were home invaders, they would have opened fire likely killing him. Calling 911 probably would not have helped him either as I doubt things could have been sorted out in time.

No innocent person deserves going to prison for defending your home.
