And evidently one of the assailants was wounded by the victim. Police say they don't knew who shot first. Does it really matter?

I have some alarming door stops at home, but they wouldn't hold someone up more than a second or two.

Same here, we use some davie bars on both outside entry doors. Someone determined enough could probably get through them but not before I or my wife awoke to the noise of a door being kicked in.

On a side note.... The article in the link says the door was UNLOCKED???

Yeah, not really sure what was going on with that. This should be a lesson for everyone, never assume you live in a safe neighborhood.

This one hits close to home as the individual killed was in my extended family. Three armed males entered the home, they preceded to wake up the first two people they could find and ordered them to wake everyone else up. They wanted them all in one room of the house. As soon as the victim was sent into his roommate's room to wake that person up, he grabbed a gun that his roommate had stashed bedside. The assailants noticed him reaching for the gun and shot him. After being struck with a round to the shoulder the victim returned fire with 3-4 shots causing the assailants to bail. He likely died saving the lives of the other three residents in the house.

No reason has yet been identified for the break in. Interestingly enough the roommates repeatedly asked the three intruders what they wanted. They only wanted everyone in a single room together. The roommates offered to give them everything they had. Intruders refused to take anything and again insisted they only wanted everyone in a single room. I can only speculate what this was all about, and that is it was gang related. Possibly an initiation, because from what I understand these roommates were living in the worst part of Hattiesburg, MS and were a few of only a handful of white residents in the area.

So much sadness in the world we live in.
