All you have is an old guy who thinks someone has commited a crime. He has little evidence to go on. But he doesn't care. He takes out his trusty shotgun and kills both of them.
I suppose that proves they weren't all that dangerous ~ couple of young bucks, taken out by an old guy.
I think he's going to go to jail as a multiple murderer. Unfortunately they will not execute him, but the history of his type is such that you can almost count on him killing someone else in prison.
The history of his type? Does this “very violent offender” have a record? Violence usually doesn’t start when someone is in their 70’s, they usually get the taste of “blood” when they’re much younger.
He has little evidence to go on. But he doesn’t care.
The codger had more evidence for what he did than you do for your commments.
The dispatcher told him. Dispatchers are rarely sworn officers. They are sometimes young men or women,waiting to get onto the force, but more often people who have no interest in being cops, but either just want a job, or want a job in real public service. Not being sworn officers, they have no more authority than anyone else.
Other than hearing them break the window, seeing them go in through it, and then seeing them come out with the loot. No evidence at all really.
I think the court should reimburse him for the shotgun shells.

Yeah, those 70-year-old curmudgeonly homeowners are pure hell on the prison population.
