TBH I dont think SYG would even be needed here.

Kid was in the wrong place, Father had every reason (AT THAT TIME) he was not a guest, he was told not to move and he did...

Yep. All SYG changes is that you are no longer required to retreat if you can do so safely. That's it. No other things to consider because there was no other change to the law. The press has gotten hold of the idea of SYG without any understanding of it and have blown it all out of proportion to what it actually does.

This situation had nothing to do with SYG. The "strange man" was already in the room with his daughter. It did not appear that she had any opportunity to retreat safely, thus no SYG involved.

no disrespect, but this is why you should have a flashlight too to help identify targets and/or weapons.

Absolutely! Rule: "If you can't see it, you shouldn't shoot it...unless it's shooting at you".
