Bravo for the good guy but does this report give you any doubts on the shoot? Was the perp inside or outside? The report is not clear. Armed or unarmed? the shooter "thought he might be"? Again not clear. By the report it's hard to even know how the shooter knew the guy was the robber. Please do not think I'm on the side of the bad guy. this report just makes me have questions regarding the Captains fear for his life.
 
Did a quick Google search, couldn't find anything.

If the cops on the scene thought it was kosher, most likely very poor reporting.
 
He had a reason to suspect that the criminal was armed with his guns and approaching his home. I do not doubt that he had reason to fear for his life.
 
A drug-user stealing guns from an absent vet's home? Whether or not he thought the guy was armed, the guy was certainly a scumbag.
