While no reason at all is definitely a bad reason to shoot someone, it wasn't as if the two were simply walking down the street not doing anything. They did happen to have committed robbery of Horn's neighbor's home with him witnessing, so he had some reason to at least have caution. Unfortunately, he decided that he didn't want to risk being the next victim of a robbery nor did he like seeing a crime being committed and the perpetrators walk away so quickly, so he decided to do what he believes it is the right thing to do.
You're making it seem like he was some trigger-happy nut who just felt like roleplaying a hero. The guy is an old man with probably an outdated sense of priorities. His character though is quite sound, from the reports and articles surrounding this affair.
Granted, I don't necessarily agree with his actions, but he wasn't exactly wrong in doing so either.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
