Shameless, take another look at the photo. The technician is squatting down, that puts the foot prints at about "doorknob" level.
The bottom of the glass window, at first glance, makes it look like a REALLY tall person was kicking the door, but I think that it was a normal-sized person.

"Investigators believe he wildly fired a second round as he retreated into the house, Clark said."
What does that mean? He missed the second time?:banghead:

I like the out come of this situation. But the home owner sounds like a loser as well

A south Seminole County man shot and killed a masked intruder who was trying to break into his house this morning.
The incident occurred just before 4 a.m. in the 300 block of Magnolia Street near Altamonte Springs and both the dead man and the shooter have lengthy criminal records, authorities said.
"It appears, on face value, that it was justified," said Seminole County Sheriff's Lt. James Clark.
"The suspect was wearing a ski mask," Clark said. There were boot prints on the front door where he had tried to kick it in.
More Orlando Sentinel blogs Clark identified the suspect as 21-year-old Donald A. Salaam of Altamonte Springs.
He has an extensive criminal history in Seminole County, Clark said, including charges involving drugs and fleeing from police. He was also being investigated in an armed robbery, Clark said.
But Clayton Montford also has a long criminal record andserved prison time for cocaine possession. Montford has been arrested in Orange County at least 25 times, Clark said.
Investigators are trying to determine if Salaam had any accomplices. "We didn't find a gun," Clark said. "It's kind of strange for someone to conduct a home invasion without a gun by himself."
Clayton Montford, 50, was awakened by his wife, Pamela, 43, after she was awakened by the noise of the attempts to kick in the front door.
Clayton Montford grabbed a gun and went to the door. He was confronted by the masked man and fired once, hitting the suspect in the chest. Investigators believe he wildly fired a second round as he retreated into the house, Clark said.
Investigators spent considerable time with Montford because of the man's criminal history, but in the end decided that had nothing to do with the justification of the shooting, Clark said.
The Seminole-Brevard State Attorney's Office will be asked to review the finding at the shooting was justified and also to decide if Montford should face a charge such as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Clark said.
