He shot her, despite her telling him she was pregnant. He shot her in the back, she was unarmed but he still hasn't been charged by the Police !

I can understand the fear and anguish of an 80 year old coming home to find a robbery in progress and then being assaulted- absolutely terrible. I can understand him firing in self defence if there was a skirmish, what I can;t understand is him shooting someone in the back as they ran from his property after they had said they were pregnant and were very obviously...

I don't think anyone is saying that reasonable or proportionate force should not be used for self-defence but when that turns into attack, that is where we differ. If I were mugged in the street, I would be allowed to defend myself. If the assailant left the scene but I followed him and severely or fatally injured him, is that self-defence?
Not if they aren't on your property, corby.
In America lots of people have guns, and they're generally not afraid to use them. If you don't want to get shot, don't break into people's houses.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for the woman, and I hope the man is either not charged, or acquitted.
