Police say Tom Greer , 80 , shot to death intruder who said , `` Do n't shoot , I 'm pregnant '' Ruben Navarrette : But when he shot her , Greer was no longer in imminent danger . Greer said he shot Miller in the back , then shot her again when she was pleading . But they are not enough to let Greer avoid taking some responsibility for killing Miller . He says that is why he fired his gun at her and not a second time as police have claimed. She was not pregnant , but Greer would not have known that at the time .
