Suspect in burglary shot in face

[Superfly]

Question for some of the more outspoken "antis" who post here. Is this man justified in using his firearm to end the threat?

Another question to ponder...

-What if he had used an AK-47, would the shooting still be justified?

Ontario County sheriff’s deputies said a man is recovering from facial injuries after he was shot by a homeowner early Saturday.
Deputies said a resident of 1294 King Road called 911 to report a burglary in progress after hearing glass break and seeing someone outside the home with a flashlight at 2:19 a.m.

While the caller waited for deputies to arrive, the suspect attempted to lift a rear window to gain entry into the home.

A man inside the house got a .22-caliber rifle from his bedroom and fired three rounds through the window, deputies said. The suspect, who was struck in the face by one round and numerous glass shards, was found on Route 96, they said.
