It does sound to me like Katy Camp's off the cuff remark:
"State Senator Jeff Wentworth wants to change the law to allow deadly force against anyone breaking into your home, car or business. Currently, you cannot use more force than necessary to defend yourself."
Is a bit off the mark.

"Homeowner Shoots Burglar Who Returns For Second Try

A homeowner takes matters into his own hands after he says a man tried to break into his home for the second time off Hunters Glenn on the northeast side.
His wife saw the man in her home during the first burglary.
“When I walked into the door, I heard strange noises in the back of the house,� Oralia Herrera told NEWS 4 WOAI’s Aubrey Mika.
“He had his jacket covering his face. He kept telling me, ‘Give me your money!’ And I kept yelling, ‘Don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me!�
That man ran away, but hours later, Herrera got a call from her husband.
“Gilbert called me and told me the guy had come back and he had shot him.�
He shot him in the leg after the thief woke him from an afternoon nap.
Police caught up with the robber in a nearby alley. Emergency crews took him to an area hospital. They say he should be okay.
But a woman who live a couple of houses down says her screen door was cut this morning. She believes someone tried to break into her house, too.
“My side gate had blown open and made it look accessible. That's probably why they picked my house,� Jane Grace said, “They probably just worked the street.�
Police say once the suspect is out of the hospital he'll be arrested. The homeowner will likely not face any charges and right now - officers are investigating to see if there was anyone else involved in this burglary attempt.
Note:
