He took the gun and went to investigate the noise. When he saw a figure at the back door the man fired at least two shots. The person at the backdoor was his 16-year-old granddaughter.

kind of makes the case for those rubber bullets/buckshot as your first or first and second round.

At least she lived. Next time he'll probably hit a light switch or bring a flashlight. Now he's probably gonna be put off shooting for a long time.

Or maybe not shooting through a closed door...
