This guy didn't do anything to try to resolve the situation, he baited
the kids in to a murder.

That's not the way that I read the story. If my memory is correct,
the kids broke a window to get into the house, and the sound of
breaking glass woke him up. One of them started to come down the
stairs into the room where he was. Being concerned that they were
armed, he shot first, several times. Where he went wrong was
delivering a final shot at close range after the original threat no
longer existed. He lives in a so called "Castle" state where shooting
an intruder in your home is permitted if you feel threatened. You are
not permitted to fire "execution" shots however, and of course the
police should have been notified immediately. It's quite likely that
he suffers from some sort of mental impairment.

Then, there is the idiocy of trying to protect oneself with a .22
caliber gun. At issue, too, is firing multiple shots at a torso; a
torso of a young girl that likely posed no physical threat and was
apparently not armed. It is also troubling that the second intruder
descended the steps after hearing shots. That suggests a bizarre
mental state of that intruder.

It really muddies the issue when it takes multiple shots to subdue an
intruder.

Of course, you are correct about the fatal shots. The shooter went
from lawfully protecting his property to illegally assuming the
position of judge, jury, and executioner.

I thought the 22 was the weapon of choice for many professional hit persons
