Friend walked in on a burglary.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

I received a call at my office that my home alarm had gone off but the monitoring company could only hear music and my dog barking. They said they had also notified law enforcement. I thought that it was most likely a false alarm and probably caused by my dog.
So I headed home to make sure and let the cops in if necessary.
When I arrived nothing seemed amiss and the police were nowhere to be seen. I thought that perhaps they had been called off or maybe had something more important to attend to... Anyway I walked in to MY HOME expecting to see my dog lose and chewing up the couch, it wasn't until in walked into my living room that I saw two men stuffing my property into a bag. When they saw me they immediately turned towards me.
I was so shocked that it wasn't a false alarm and that I was now standing just a few feet from these two intimidating men that I was terrified I took two quick steps back and drew my concealed handgun, that is when I heard one of them said "Get him!"
As they both moved to attack me I was able to shoot each of then 5-6 times.

"I strongly object to referring to these two as 'innocent children.' First, they stopped being innocent the moment they engaged in burglary. Second, one is legally an adult, and the other only slightly younger. Third, everyone has the right to defend themselves and their property. Having no idea when police would respond, I re-entered my property to ascertain whether or not it was secure. I was accosted by the two, and, fearing for my safety and that of my family, I took appropriate measures to secure my safety." (I'd have a bit more I'd add, but it'd be "Objection - Supposition"ed :P)

Those were both better than I expect. I would actually buy that if I was on a jury. You've changed my mind.
