Usually if a "burglar" breaks into an occupied dwelling, it is known as home invasion, not burglary. I guess that sounds too mean, or something. One Dead in Burglary/Shooting Investigation in Southeast Missouri | WSIL
But expecting 21st Century journalists to get the language right is expecting too much.
The New Madrid County Sheriff's Office said they responded to a home near Lilbourn on Sunday at 4 p.m. This comes after a homeowner called authorities and reported they shot someone and alleged this was during a burglary attempt at their home.
She died at the scene.
The investigation continues
I guess calling someone a burglar is less offensive than calling someone a home invader in the mind of a journalist. The author of the article is a "professional journalist," and so we can all guess their opinion of armed self defense. We may be wrong in that guess, but ...
Self Defense is a Human Right.
