In my city we just had an incident where a 16 attempted to break in the home of an elderly couple and was shot in the head (killed). The elderly man was not charged but only a few days later his home was shot up. Arson has also been threatened. This couple has moved out of their home out of fear. The young man only lived about 4 houses down from them all these years.

I know the exact story you're speaking of. But I dont understand, this guy broke into the elderly couple's house. The husband feared for his life and the life of his family. If I were in the situation I would have done the same, no questions asked. That 16 year old wasn't coming by to make sure they had their daily newspaper. If you are bold enough to enter my house without owning a key then you have to bold enough to take the bullets thou will lay upon thee. The neighbors didn't like the fact that the elderly man protected himself and family from an intruder, but on the other hand they fired several shots into his house that could have killed someone. To me, this is similar to those who protest abortions, but kill or attempt to kill the doctors and patients in the abortion clinics.
