Suppose it had been a kid who'd accidentally thrown a ball through your window, and went inside your house to retrieve it? Do you honestly want a neighbour who's going to shoot to kill first and ask questions later? Someone who tells the emergency operator "I'm going outside to kill them"? That's a rather peculiar definition of "self defence".

Property can be replaced. Human lives cannot.

I fully appreciate that we live in completely different societies when it comes to gun ownership and use, but all the same, I honestly don't see how any decent human being can sanction what appears to be the cold-blooded killing of two unarmed men, AGAINST the specific orders of the law-enforcement authorities.
