Did you watch the video? It seems there was no way the woman (who was the rightful resident in the home) could have seen who was shining the flashlight in the backyard of her home at 2 am.
So. No. When an assailant in my back yard says show your hands, I'm going to attempt to shoot instead. Very sad this didn't work out for the innocent homeowner in this case.

All I was saying was..
If somebody is pointing a gun at me, I would do whatever they asked. Im not referring to this case. Just in general.
No. He may have been inept, he may have shot unnecessarily, but you don’t know. What I do know is unlikely is that he intended to kill her in malice. Manslaughter at max... o
It is murder. That's the law in Texas. But murder means a sentence of 5-99 years, while manslaughter is 2-20, so the distinction doesn't necessarily matter.
It would be interesting to know what he was told that the nature of the call was a concerned neighbor, who noticed his neighbor's lights were on and the door was open, and was concerned about her.
Who would call the cops on their neighbor in a situation like this? That's nuts.
