...an earlier account that I can't find now in print said he rang the front doorbell, rattled the knob...then went to the back door and broke in, then went and forced open the bedroom door where she was hiding...I got it by following a link from here, and it also said she asked her husband on the phone if HE was at the door...he said no...go get the gun...
...if he was willing to break the back door to get in...maybe it's good that he got the "wrong" house and someone was there who COULD defend herself...

...this at least takes him to the back door...not just the front... http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/archives/shooting/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and scroll down to the story...

...I would not want my wife to do that...it would let the guy trying the doorknob know that there was a woman there...that she was near the door, and he might call her bluff and kick the door open...being in the same room with her...she did well to retreat to the bedroom and wait...once he breached the back door and then opened the bedroom door...there was no "in the wrong house"...if he had been next door, where the lady of his intentions actually lived, was his plan to kick down HER door and then bedroom door??? What would have happened if he'd broken in next door, and would the other lady have been able to protect herself??? No pity for him...he was doing something very wrong and paid a terrible price for it...be it for evil purposes, romance, or a drunken episode...he made choices and involved another in them...he got what he deserved...18 or 65, drunk or sober...

...this thread taught me a lot about just how little force is required to make the grade:

...if the bleeding hearts would change the shooter's name to that of their daughter or wife, it'd help 'em understand what happened a LOT better...

...lust and greed have a way of clogging up "normal" thought processors...and at root in a criminal mindset is usually something like "not me"...they think they're above the law and smarter'n the rest of us...they may be smarter'n ME, but they ain't smarter'n Bill Ruger...

...either by use of force or she let him in...he sure din't come down the chimney...
