Uh, if a couple of guys are robbing my neighbor's house I certainly would feel threatened. If they are willing to steal from my neighbor why wouldn't they steal from me? Just imagine being home alone at 3AM on a dark night and you see two men breaking into your neighbors house, threatened is a mild way of putting how I would feel.
Whats more is how do you know your neighbor and his/her family aren't in danger? What if one of them wakes up, whats going to happen then? So when the police arrive 20 minutes after these guys are gone and they start wheeling out stretchers to carry away your neighbors 3 year old who was shot because she startled the burglar you would be OK with your decision to not interfere? Was it "good enough" that you got the license plate? Cause that doesn't bring anyone back from the dead if something does happen.
The shooting itself is woefully lacking in detail for anyone here to get all huffed up about it anyways. For all we know the two burglars had pulled guns and were running for cover, kinda changes things a bit doesn't it? Until we get all the facts of the situation its pretty pointless for people to sit here and act morally outraged. And honestly even then its sort of ridiculous to be morally outraged that two men committing a felony were killed in the act, in just about every scenario imaginable thats an act far closer to right than wrong.
