Friend walked in on a burglary.

Those two posts are what I'm talking about. You can't just walk in and shoot someone. You have to feel you're in danger.
Agree

If the two kids put their hands up and said, "we'll leave" and you shot them... Prison.
Maybe - if they live to testify against you

If they started to walk towards the door and you shot them... Prison.
Maybe - if they live to testify against you

If you shot them in the back... Prison.
Maybe - if they live to testify against you

Now, if they threatened you. Sure, shoot away if you want. But you're still going to be in a shit storm for going into the house knowing there could be someone inside.
Partially disagree. Yes, you will have issues to deal with whenever you shoot someone. However, just the fact I know someone was inside, I do not believe will have bearing on the case. I have a legal (and natural) right to defend my "castle." This is the part of your argument I do not understand.
