So, essentially, he wasn't in any danger himself, he just killed to people who were burgluring the house next door, and he goes scot free. is this crazy or what???

I'm sure there's a lot more to this story. The local prosecutor would be the one to decide if the case goes to court or not. If the evidence indicated an unjustified killing, the homeowner would be in deep trouble. If he challenged the persons and they came after him - different story. Shot-in-the-front or shot-in-the-back, unarmed versus armed, threatening or passive - all those factors weigh into this.
