From the second article:

Authorities also say Huggett, a Minneapolis firefighter, was in much better physical condition than Peach, and that, combined with the fact that Peach was unarmed, made the use of deadly physical force unnecessary.

I guess in Wisconsin, if you might be tougher or at least as tough as someone breaking into your home unarmed, you are apparently expected to engage in physical hand to hand fighting inside your home, rather than risk killing the poor invader with a firearm. How sad is that? You never know how a fight will go, and even if you WIN, you can still be badly hurt in the process. I don't care what kind of names he was called, if he truly "forced his way in" he should be shot. And if I were on the jury there would be no worry. On the other hand, if the forcing in thing isn't quite as it sounds or seems, then perhaps charges are in order here.
