Found another article with a little more detail on what happened, including that his mother lives with him too and was attacked by the robbers.

A 22-year-old is facing murder charges after he shot and killed a man who was allegedly attempting to rob his family home in Milton, Ont., his lawyer says.
The incident happened on Feb. 19 at about 5 a.m. at a residence on Gibson Crescent, which is near Ontario Street South and Louis St. Laurent Avenue
According to Halton Regional Police Service, a group of suspects intent on committing a robbery approached the house in question.
Once inside, they were reportedly confronted by an occupant and a number of gunshots were then fired within the home. A man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ali Mian, who lives in the home with his single mother, is now facing second-degree murder charges, his lawyer says.
In a statement provided to CP24, criminal lawyer Jag Virk said his client "shot at an intruder that broke into his home and attacked his mother."
"He is a registered firearm owner and used his gun legally against an armed intruder," Virk said. "He shouldn't be charged with murder for protecting his mother from someone that broke into his home."
Virk said Mians intention was "not to kill the intruder, he only shot at him once."
Halton police said the investigation ongoing and that detectives are currently looking for information pertaining to three outstanding suspects who they said fled the scene in a light-coloured Dodge Charger with a sunroof and black wheels.
Romario Clarke, 20, was also arrested when officers when arrived at the scene. He has been charged with one count of break and enter and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
On Sunday, investigators said the shooting was isolated to the home and appears to be targeted. They also advised residents that they should expect to see a continued police presence in the area, as the investigation is underway.
