Note the skewed description of Missouri's Castle Doctrine... but other than that it is reasonably good reporting.

According to the report, the self defense shooter chased the criminal out of the house and shot him. In a general sense, this is not advisable... but we do not know all the circumstances.

Its a good thing the shooter had access to a firearm and was willing to make a confrontation... otherwise we might be reading about the multiple homicides of a 66 year old man, a 22 year old woman, a 19 year old woman, and a 7 month old baby girl.
