A friend in HOVE sent me this email the day after the shooting:
"We've had many burglaries here in the past 90 days but last night may have put a damper on it. One block up from me, a thief was murdered with a 12 guage shotgun. I heard the shot at 10:30 last night. The intruder was trying to get into the green house where my neighbor was growing Marijuana. His house was hit just a few weeks ago in broad daylight while he was shopping in the town center."
"...If someone comes on my property at 10:30PM, he's going to be one hurtin dude!!!... I hate to say it but the way the economy is going, there's apt to more of this going on."
The burglaries he mentioned were things like solar panels and anything removable from an empty house, not just drugs. Seems like there are some hard core thieves in that area. Police have not been very effective in helping to catch the perpetrators. The residents there are feeling they need to protect themselves.
