It used to be TX Law that if you were on someone's property at night (dusk till dawn) without permission (trespassing) you could be shot without the homeowner facing charges, period. Now, it doesn't matter what time of day a burglar decides to trespass, he takes his life in his hands. These kids gambled and lost. Or, more likely, didn't even think about the consequences of their actions. (which is more a teenage behavior than not). Its tragic all around, but I don't think any law has been broken here. A homeowner shot an invader who was on his property without permission. A good shoot legally, whether one likes it or not.
