I am on the fence with this, I respect using firearms to defend your home. But shooting into your neighbours house is endangering other people. But hey I get it. It’s not like he had a backstop to shoot into.

He wasn't defending his home. His car was on the driveway. It's not self-defence. You can't use firearms to defend property only people.
