I think most people on this board agree going outside probably wasn't the smartest thing he could have done. I do not believe Horn was trigger happer or looking to kill for the sake of killing. I think he felt he had to stop the burgulars. Sure, he told he 911 operator he was going to kill them, but when he got outside he told them to freeze or be shot. If he had been shot and killed, then it would have been because he placed himself in that situation (and because the criminals shot him). It was the risk he took in confronting them.
