Shelbyville grandfather fires back at intruders on his property to protect grandson | FOX59
First, I'm glad everyone is ok and the perps were apprehended. Glad to see some aimed fire, too.
Second, though, this wouldn't be INGO without at least a little critique. It appears that he's shooting at the guys as they ran away. In legal terms, that's a risky gambit. If they're shooting at him and he's returning fire, then that's one thing. (And even more credit to the Patton-esque patiently aimed fire in the face of incoming rounds.) The video does not appear to resolve that question.
Regardless, the more criminals are worried about armed homeowners, that's a good thing IMHO.

Retreating and going for position looks a lot alike. They shot at me so I shot back sounds reasonable. I do understand your concern since it is outside the home. They found one baddie in a cornfield the other in a dumpster .
Given the brazenness of the criminals and their willingness to destroy property I would have to assume they were going to reposition to continue their assault not retreat. I think that's a reasonable belief on his part.
After seeing the video I think he would have been advised to make better use of cover...though I'm not seeing what he's seeing just what the surveillance camera saw so it's armchair quarterbacking.

But, but, Yeager sez....
You haven't lived till you've witnessed someone's mama literally pulling rock salt out of his axx and saying "Oh, you just wait till your father gets home!"
Interestingly, he never stole old man Summerfield's tomatoes again. So apparently rock salt IS a suitable deterrent to tomato thieves. In another world, long ago.
Bravo, sir.
