Burglar, jogger, whatever. Deadly force by citizens was not the answer here.

Should have detained him for the police to deal with. If he was indeed an innocent jogger, no harm done except for the lawsuit that followed; if proven a burglar "casing" targets, some jail time.

Back in the day, when I trained for marathons, I'd sometimes do 12-15 mile interval training sessions. That consists of repetitions of running hard for a specific distance or time period, then slowing to an easy pace, sometimes even walking it off. I would sometimes get suspicious looks from residents, when I was in the slow mode.

And how should they have attempted to “detain” him?
