    They have no duty to retreat, that’s in the law. That person who uses that force has to reasonably believe that the force is necessary to prevent or terminate an unlawful entry or attack on the person’s dwelling."

    Ok “sure” thats the law but The home owners life was not threatened or attacked. Unlawful entry would have been prevented when the keys she was given didnt work.

You cant justify shooting someone in the head without warning in this situation.
