So, not only do you have the facts the officials and reporters have missed, you also know this husband and are certain he would have responded differently if he had been alone in the house?
You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but honestly, you come across as anything but informed.
Back to the topic. First, I'm glad the young girl will apparently be alright. She's lucky the homeowner either didn't get a clear shot or just isn't a very good shot. If she had stumbled into the home of someone whose aim was better, she'd likely be dead.
Second, the charges should not be dropped; the trespasser should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I'm not familiar with how the self-defense aspect plays for a typical Colorado jury, but it surely can't be a good idea to be the shooter of someone against whom there are no criminal charges. He needs a lawyer, no doubt.
Finally, the story says the girl had been partying. Where were her friends? Why did she get the opportunity to go stumbling off drunk? Seems to me there is some culpability among the rest of the partiers.
