It's a result of the poor training the military has been giving out lately.

When I was in the military in 2001 we had to get escalation of force training to man the gate at Camp Foster in Okinawa, Japan. We were trained and issued M1014 shotguns and put on patrols all around the base. We also manned the front gate. We were explicitly told to never, ever fire warning shots for two excellent reasons: 1) the person you are shooting at may assume you are a terrible shot and return fire accurately and 2) you have no idea where the round (buckshot in this case) was going to go or what it would hit.

Later on when I was in the Army they trained us to fire to warn, disable and finally kill. Which is where this gentleman got the wrongheaded notion that shooting warning shots is totally ok. Sounds like he was trying to detain this person and fired the shot to force the issue. The training he got ended up biting him back. Hopefully he learned his lesson and won't be popping off shots in suburbia anymore.

This house doesn't call 911. Or fire warning shots.
