Suppose the father did call police and the intruder arrived before help could get there and approached the young girl at the moment the father fired his gun

if some 53yr old breaks into my house to "touch" my 14 yr old daughter...nope not going to shoot him, but I will cut his dick off

What state are we talking about and was the home entry through a door or a window? Was he knowingly meeting a minor or did the girl portray herself as older?

Murder is murder. Plain and simple.
Let the jury of 12 figure out the rest.
