This is a pretty standard story of the home invasion. Very few details were provided by the police, and the wording they used wasn't 100% clear on what happened.

Here is what we do not know, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. We do not know for certain who the two wounded people were. We do not know whether one of the wounded was the homeowner or whether both were intruders, though the way the police report is worded, with the caller saying he was shooting back, it sounds like one was the resident and one was the intruder.

This guy did everything right. He called 911. He defended himself. He ended up shot.

There are no guarantees in this life, there are only strategies for dealing with violent encounters.
