In his favor: suspects were masked. One suspect was armed. Shooting death in the neighborhood previously, I’m assuming a resident death. In Florida. Both dead. Wife witness. At his home.
However,
Not in his favor at least in Texas: 1pm in the day time.
Trying to break in. Nothing taken. What evidence of trying to break in. Did he know them?
To me masks were a real big help to the the homeowner here with the police. Real easy for Police to pick GG and BG.
The only restrictions on defending one's property, in the daytime, is theft. By breaking into the house, they were committing burglary, at least by Texas statute, so deadly force is justified at any time.IANAL
