You are again condoning and excusing Murder by victim blaming. As i have clearly pointed out from the article which quotes from the court records itself;

1) The House was said to be a "Model House" and no one living in it.

2) Because of the above, they were given keys to explicitly open, enter and clean the house.

3) When they arrived at the house, there were no lights, no cars, no dogs etc. all consistent with the signs of an unoccupied house.

4) So they started trying the keys one-by-one in order to do their job.

The above sequence is perfectly logical and that is what most of us would have done in a similar situation.

The guy did not fire randomly (i am almost sure that racism must be involved here given the current anti-immigrant sentiments roiling the US) but must have seen the victims through a peep-hole/windows and then must have opened fire deliberately. He aimed at one of them squarely with a handgun. No warnings etc. were given. It is murder pure and simple.

“We cannot, as a society, have people deciding literally to shoot first and ask questions later,” said Jody Madeira, a law professor at Indiana University.
