It sounds like a small-caliber "sledgehammer"... maybe just a two-pound ENGINEER'S hammer in this case. The uneducated press seems to like to exaggerate certain weapons: .223 are "high power" rifles, and so on.
If the homeowner had used an 8- or 12-pounder and had gotten a real swing on it, it's more than likely there would have been a different outcome. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
