I have a friend who came out of his house to shoot and kill a guy who was inside his car attempting to steal it. Friend was literally a local celebrity for months.

So what happened? Was there a legal judgment? Did he get legal advice? Did local newspapers commission and publish legal analyses?

(Did this happen in Texas?)

		Yeah, what happened? Shooting someone inside a car will undoubtedly make a mess! Did he drag the thief out of the car ASAP afterwards, did the guy run off, or what? My actions would likely depend on how fond I was of the car: New Tesla - try talking the guy out of the car, 1971 (maybe any year) Volvo wagon - shoot him dead, etc.
