Okay, replace "I assume" with "I have deduced," because I can't think of a reason why nobody would mention a weapon, since that would be the key ingredient to this guy's case.

The man watched them break into the house, called the cops, and told the cops "I'm going to kill them." Then when they came back outside with the goods, he went outside and killed them. He wanted to kill them for the burglary, not for fear of his own life.
Luckily your humble opinion isn't the law, so we don't have superhero/vigilante/cowboys everywhere.
