The homeowner fired five shots at Hetrick and struck him three times, in the left foot, in the shoulder and the fatal shot to the left thigh, Mazzetta said.
Well, there you go ...
Shot placement is everything, so they say.
I wonder if a shot to the right thigh would be just as effective?
Pierini said the homeowner is remorseful about what happened
Why ...?

Probably hit the femoral artery, eh? I guess a shot to the right thigh would've been good too.

With a shottie the thigh area is a good target (two ways to remove them from the gene pool there ;) ).

The homeowner is not a fool and knows when to be strategically Politically Correct.

Maybe he was remorseful because he was trying for a Mozambique.

Wonder what led to the "remorseful" label. If he said "Oh how I wish the suspect hadn't forced me to defend myself and shoot, it's one thing. If he said "Oh how I wish I hadn't shot him." it is another. Guess which opens the door to prosecutors and attorneys for the suspect's family, to help file charges or sue.
