The mistaken intruder shootings, in view of the shoot first laws, seems worth tracking.

From San Mateo, California:
| No charges for shooting mistaken intruder |

| The incident was not criminal but just a bad mistaken accident on both parts, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The 24-year-old San Mateo man was shot three times when he entered the residence on the 600 block of Crane Avenue just after 4 a.m. March 25. Authorities say he had spent the night drinking with friends the previous night and was so intoxicated he inadvertently thought the residence belonged to a friend. Inside the home, a Brentwood man staying over after a family gathering thought the unarmed man was an intruder and opened fire. |
Neither one of them was at home? Wonder if the shooter had permission from the friends he was visiting to have a gun in his possession.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a guy with a gun in my house and it went off, stupidentally or intentionally while I or any member of my family was in the house I would have to calmly explain, while feeding him the bullets left in the weapon, why he will not be allowed to EVER set foot on my property again.
