I dunno about that. It wasn't his property. He is a security guard, not a LEO.
I feel that he acted in the wrong here (with what we know from the story, which isn't much). The suspects may have been stealing a car, but I don't think that gives him the right to shoot them for it.

With what few details we know, the guard may have feared for his life, and in that case, the use of deadly force may have been justified[ PC 9.32(a)(2) (A) ] - P.58 of Handbook
