If I understand correctly, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, the argument had already begun when the shooter went into the house and got the gun. That's a problem, because it brings into question whether he really believed he was in danger, and whether the danger was imminent. If he had time to retrieve the gun, he had time to call the police.
