I've personally known two murder victims. Insofar as we know, each was killed by a stranger.

But how many assault victims have you known, who might have been justified in shooting attackers? Robbery victims? Rape victims?

I'm sorry that you lost two friends to murder, but that isn't much of a statistical sample.

Even if the resident was 100% justified and is cleared, this will be another one of those "more likely to kill someone you know" statistics. And of course those stats are true, because being attacked by a total stranger is very rare. You can know someone very well, and still be fully justified in shooting.
