The intruder, Hector Soto, 21, of Oxnard, died less than three hours after being shot ...
Looks like Hector chose the wrong gringo to mess with.
You're assuming the defender/prison counselor is a Gringo. Might not be. Might be a Gringa or a Latina/Latino or Negra/Negro or Asiática/Asiático. Story doesn't tell us much of anything about the home defender.
