I'm no supporter of the NRA, but believe citizens do have a right to buy and own a gun providing it's used for appropriate uses such as hunting game, target practice at a training site, and protecting one's family from a home invasion or intruder.  In this case, the intruders entered the house by window and they were armed.  Tell me exactly how the homeowner was suppose to call the police and wait while one of the intruders didn't have a problem shooting and wounding the homeowner.  Glad the homeowner didn't lose his/her life.  I can't imagine the fright of having to confront two intruders that were armed.
