I don't know if this has been posted here already, but I just saw the story on O'Rielly.

"At the beginning of the dispatch tape, the Parsons' girlfriend was heard saying "someone's trying to get in the house" and telling the dispatcher to "hurry up, he's trying to get in the house!" The Parsons' girlfriend was on the phone with a police dispatcher for nearly 4-1/2 minutes while the unknown male was trying to get into the home. She was then heard saying "Oh my God, he's coming in the back door!" and then "Are they on their way, because oh my God, he broke in the glass!" followed by the sound of gunshots."
Basically, the intruder was completely drunk and thought he was breaking into his own house. It was actually someone else's home. He was yelling, cussing, wasn't deterred by the barking dog, broke the window in and tried to unlock the door. That's when one of the people inside shot him.
Sad story. Sorry the guy got too drunk to figure out he was breaking into someone else's home. Sorry the poor people have to live with the knowledge that they took a life.
But tough luck. Good for the guy for defending his home and his girlfriend. Good for the state for not persecuting him for it.
