AMARILLO---There's a chance the shooter won't face any charges.
 That's because it could fall under the Castle Doctrine.
The updated Castle Doctrine Law of 2007 gives a person the right to protect their home, their car or place of work to the extent of using deadly force, and that, that action is presumed reasonable.
Some neighbors in today's home invasion shooting say the Castle Doctrine is justified.
 "Absolutely because there was a threat to them, someone was in they're house trying to take their stuff, if you have to defend your home you should be able to use absolute force not matter what it is, " says neighbor Cassandra Skobel.
But some say laws like these increase violence.
"When you tell people they can shoot more people that they could before, violence is going to increase and that's what we've got with this," says Criminal Defense Lawyer Jeff Blackburn.
Blackburn says people are more apt to abuse this law because they have it's protection.
However gun rights advocate Burnie Stokes and other lawyers disagree, they say the updated law has been long overdue. "When I go home at night, I want to be safe and secure, especially when I'm there and for the courts to go back and mandate the law that says I can protect my self in the home, is just validating the Constitution of the United States," says Stokes.
If this case falls under the Castle Doctrine, it wouldn't be the first in Amarillo.
A couple of years ago, police investigated two shootings where homeowners shot suspects.
According to police and Potter County District Attorney, the defendants were never charged.
