The shooting, or saying he wasn't home? Seems like the shooting was pretty justified given they were actively trying to break down his door.
And one of them had a gun in their hand.
The one cop said there were shell casings outside, so they were shooting too
The gamble was shooting through the door and possibly hitting someone in the apartment across the way.
Hopefully that cholo got perforated and nobody else.

Especially in texas.
At least as far as criminal law goes. However, I've heard of some pretty wacky situations where defending your home like this can result in some civil liability.
Thats why you always shoot to kill. Its cheaper in the US.
Not in Texas.
There is a difference between criminal law and civil law. Yes, you can get sued for self-defense in civil court in Texas: https://www.walkertaylorlaw.com/sued-for-self-defense-in-texas/
TV too high
2nd amendment is beautiful.
Why didn't he shoot to the left?
I think he was worried about shooting through the neighbours door
Judging by how the door opens after the cops arrive, I don't think he shot through the door, but had it opened just a crack and was simply firing blindly.
