Yes, of course I immediately contacted the police. See previous posts.
As far as documentation goes, I agree with Speedsix. I had no reason to shoot this man on this particular night. He did not pose an immediate threat. He was not breaking in my windows or doors, or anything of the like. He was simply peeping. It was disgusting, deplorable, illegal, and incredibly infuriating, but unless the guy is a credible threat to me or mine, there is no reason to shoot him. Chase him, yes. And if I would have caught him, I almost certainly would have used force (not deadly force) to keep him there until po-po arrived.
