You seem to be focusing on the word "threatened," as if the legal statute includes nothing more specific than that. That was the article's word. It clearly goes on to state that the citizen specifically "has the right to use deadly force against an intruder if he feels that his or his family's life is in danger;" and also, "persons attacked in any place outside the home" may fire their weapon as well.
