The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.
[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.
At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.
The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.
Absolutely not. I have state mandated insurance and while the regulations around insurance are fucked up, the insurance company should pay for my claim, then they can look at their legal options for reclaiming damages. If someone “accidentally” shoots a gun, that is negligence and the outcome of that action may result in criminal action, if it does, then sure let me file a civil case if it doesn’t, then again I have insurance.
If someone breaks into a home, they have committed violence against me and my family, and in a tight-knit community I’d expect neighbors to respond in-kind and help a member of that community from being victimized.
