Another sad story of someone shot and apparently not in a resistive effort.

Statistically it's safer to fight back than submit, and even safer if you fight back with a weapon.

"It seems like the mind set is to cause harm to victims. In some cases, these criminals don't want to leave any witnesses," said Lt. Cuevas.
One of the best reasons to get your CHL and arm yourself. To the criminal, life is cheap, and it means nothing to them to kill someone.

I don't know that the no resistance parts holds up in this case.. I don't know the details but the article says
"the would-be robber struggled with Corbo and his wife Emma Macdonald and then shots were fired."

Yeah, I guess there was a struggle at some point, but they first retreated (ran away) and were rewarded for that by being shot. Not sure how the struggle started, but you're right, there was a struggle.
