This Sounds More Like Car Jacking

I will leave it to you to decide. In either case it seems to be another failure of the victim-selection process. Lehigh Acres car break-in leads to shooting death of alleged burglar

An alleged would-be car burglar was shot and killed early Saturday morning after trying to break into a parked car in a Lehigh Acres driveway — with the driver still sitting inside, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

If the driver was still in the car, it doesn't sound like burglary to me.

Lehigh Acres, Florida is a section of Lee County which is about 8 miles east of Fort Myers.

“Everyone deserves to feel safe on their own property,” [Lee County Sheriff Carmine] Marceno said in the news release. “The homeowner exercised their right to protect themself, which unfortunately resulted in a loss of a life today.”

So again, why try to "burglarize" a car in Florida with the owner still inside? Floridians are heavily armed, and self-defense is a thing in the Sunshine State.

    Is there any reason to believe the owner of the car was going to be treated gently? Or beaten, injured or possibly killed?
