I’m guessing the case will be reviewed by a grand jury but I can’t see an Alabama grand jury indicting a homeowner for shooting a guy kicking in a door.
This is an occupational risk burglars assume when they take up the occupation.
We had a guy do this in Marshall County many years ago. He didn’t kill the guy, just put birdshot in his arm. The guy was a career burglar who’d broke into homes in half his own neighborhood. Deputies joked about buying the homeowner some buckshot.
