This is getting out of hand... :cry:
The victim rang the doorbell and tried to turn the handle, but evidently walked away because the shooter then confronted the victim in the back yard. The man didn't respond to commands so he shoots - four times.
911 had already been called. Why not retreat back into your home and wait? Why go out to begin with? What happened to grabbing your gun and hunkering down in a closet until LE arrives?
To shoot anyone who knocked on your door - even trying the door knob - but then retreats into the yard is just not justifiable, IMO. :no:

Ga. man shoots, kills roving Alzheimer's patient
....the victim, Ronald Westbrook, walked about three miles in the sub-freezing temperatures before knocking on Joe Hendrix's door just before 4 a.m. Wednesday.
Hendrix's fiancee didn't answer, instead calling police. But before deputies arrived, Sheriff Steve Wilson said, Hendrix went into the back yard with his handgun, where he saw Westbrook in silhouette.
Wilson said Hendrix, 34, recalled giving Westbrook several verbal commands, but the advanced Alzheimer's patient who was wearing a light jacket and a straw hat with temperatures in the low 20s didn't respond. Hendrix then fired four shots, the fatal bullet hitting entering Westbrook's chest....
Man shoots, kills elderly man with Alzheimers at Walker County, Ga., home
A 34-year-old Chattanooga man shot and killed a 72-year-old man who rang the doorbell around 4 a.m. today at a home in a new subdivision off North Marble Top Road in rural Walker County, Ga., Sheriff Steve Wilson said....
....Wilson said the victim, who had advanced Alzheimers disease, had been walking around for about four hours and almost three miles before the incident occurred. He said Westbrook was lost and rang the doorbell and turned the door handle at the home, where Hendrix was visiting his fiancee.
The woman, who was not identified, called a 911 dispatcher and was on the phone with that person when Hendrix took a 40-caliber handgun outside and confronted the victim in the yard behind the home, the sheriff said.
Westbrook apparently did not respond to commands from Hendrix because his condition has left him essentially mute, the sheriff said.
Hendrix fired four shots, one of which struck the victim in the chest and killed him....
