"Byron Smith, a retired security engineer for the U.S. Department of State, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder in the slayings of cousins Nick Brady, 17, and Haile Kifer, 16, on Thanksgiving Day 2012"
"Prosecutors say Smith was sitting in his basement when he heard a window breaking upstairs. When Brady started walking down the basement stairs, Smith shot him twice."

On the surface it seems like self defense. You are not getting out of a basement - without going thru your attacker.
BUT
I think the home owner made a few mistakes -
he talked
he said he wanted them dead
You want them to stop
NEVER, EVER talk to the police -that is what lawyers are for.
