leaving[/I], thereby trapping him? If, as the father said, the burgler had had a gun that could have ended up really bad.

To repeat, Florida has a "castle doctrine", which means you are legally allowed to use whatever force you deem necessary to protect yourself and your property.

Given that they got the guy, it probably would have been better if the kid hadn't tried to stab him with the sword.

In a side note, ethically, I don't know how I'd feel if I killed someone, especially if there was another way open to defuse the situation. Of course, if they're out to get me (and who says they aren't?), all bets are off.
