He wasn't in any risk to his or his families safety - he got his shotgun, loaded his shotgun, got into his car, chased him down in his car, hit him with his car, shot at him as he was running away, shot at him again after he got up... he may not have been the one who was originally looking for trouble but the normal, nor legal response to someone stealing a material object is to pepper them with birdshot - which can kill someone.
As soon as he went and started chasing after a thief he was looking for trouble.
