From the story, I think the homeowner did everything right. He was awakened by his wife yelling someone is trying to break in. He told the person to stop. He tried to shoot over the person's head by aiming high on the door. He will be no-billed, I think (and hope).

As for the shooting through the door part, I have mixed feelings. If it is a real burglary/home invasion, why would I want to wait for them to get the door open? I might not be able to stop them then, especially if there is more than one or they are also armed. But I have this fear of hitting the wrong person also, and a habit of wanting to know what my target is. I cannot say i would shoot through the door, but I cannot fault another person's tactical decision in those circumstances either.
