My informed opinion is that if the dead guy committed any crime, it was not burglary but rather, criminal trespass. Criminal trespass is a misdemeanor and one would be unjustified in threatening or using deadly force to evict a trespasser. As such, the shooter was unjustified in threatening with a firearm and therefore, was the initial aggressor and is therefore, responsible for all that occurred thereafter.
Sure, the shooter was entitled to have a weapon. He was not entitled, however, to threaten with it which he pretty clearly did. It’s kind of like if you were out hunting on your land and you see a trespasser. You have to be careful in how you deal with that situation because if the interaction goes south and it was claimed that you threatened him at gunpoint, you could find yourself in hot water.
