are you suggesting that firing into the air is a good idea?
keeping in mind that what goes up, must come down. and can come down onto an innocent person several backyards away.

No. I am not suggesting firing into the air is good. However Killing someone isn't good if you can keep from it and he did. I also saw that mythbusters episode. Chances of winning the lottery are better that his bullet would hit someone and even if it did it wouldn't kill. Now that said , did the thugs get caught??? If not his action probably just give them a sense of security and they will do it again maybe killing someone where if he had killed one of them it might put a stop to their actions. If he had killed one he likely would be trying to prove if his life was in danger. If it was found he was unarmed he would still be in a world of trouble.

Well I guess he should have shot them instead of running them away???
