yeah she might should wait for her attorney prior to making statements
:iagree:

The specifics are extremely important here. Huge difference if he had his hands on the window (especially if it was unlocked), for example.

Yes, I do see the "peeping tom" reference, but not sure that justifies the use of deadly force.

I agree. This one may not be over just yet. Truth is, how could they verify he was peeping in the window? The guy may have simply been walking between the houses. Even if he was peeping in the window, that would not be considered an emanate threat to life or even protecting ones "castle". I always thought you could only shoot the bad guy if he was stealing something after dark or in the process of trying to gain entry.
My plan is to sit in my house with rifle ready while my wife calls 911. If the perp or perps breach a door / window, I'm lighting them up. But as long as they are outside, I'm not opening fire. Aside from the questionable legal justification, I'd also be concerned about any bullets that might miss and end up in a neighbors yard, or house.

According to this story, there were 2 stray rounds that went somewhere.

Woman shoots man through wall

I'm sorry, but how in the heck was this woman not charged on the scene? She's claiming self defense against an unknown person who was outside her home and there is no mention in the story that the man was armed.
