Retired Green Beret shoots intruder, gets court martial.

[mdoyle]

I went to college in a little town and we had a case there where a guy heard a noise at his back door while he was watching TV with the lights off. He turned off the television, picked up his compound bow and took a position behind some furniture.

The intruders broke in and he shot one, fatally. The other one ran away wounded. He almost went to a grand jury to determine if his actions were against the law, but eventually they let him off without charging him.
