Midlothian home owner killed in invasion of his home might be more informative.
Doesn't sound like a typical random act though.

Noon news stated that Chesterfield police are investigating and do not believe it was a random act.
Darn lazy media can't even make it clear if the victim was the lessee or the mortgagee and that is apparently important to some.
Perhaps one of the siblings will be able to help determine if this was in fact an invasion or an inside job/domestic dispute. 3:00 am on a cold, snowy, windy night is an atypical time for BGs to be out and about plying their trade.
No knee jerk reaction on this home story from this corner of Chesterfield.
A Chesterfield County man from Afghanistan who was weeks away from marrying his Afghan sweetheart was fatally shot in his bed early Monday by an intruder who slipped into the family’s home. The victim’s older brother also was fired on.
Killed was Farzad Sultani, 27, who was ambushed while sleeping in a home he shared with two brothers, a sister and one brother’s wife in the 12500 block of Little Pond Lane in Midlothian, police and friends said.
...
After shooting Sultani in the eye and throat, the intruder was “still walking around and trying to open the other doors,” the victim’s close friend said.
Chesterfield police Capt. Brad Badgerow said that at some point during the encounter, the intruder may have attempted to get into more than one room.
The gunman finally fled after Sultani’s older brother, after being fired on, first grabbed his shotgun and then a handgun, the friend said.
“We think that this was beyond a normal breaking and entering, where somebody is going to go in to steal something,” Badgerow said. “We feel the home was targeted, and we’re still trying to figure out what that motivation was.”

Seems the intruder had a purpose. Mass murder. What if the brother had no arms to bear, then what?
I'd have said, "especially at home" - do you realize that actual statistics prove that nearly one hundred percent of all home-invasions occur within someone's place of residence?
While staffing the VCDL table at the Hampton Gun Show this past weekend, I met a lady who said she was a former probation officer. As we talked, she posed the question (riddle?) "Why do I need a gun?" Her reply, "Because those who shouldn't have them already do.".:banana:I'd have said, "especially at home" - do you realize that actual statistics prove that nearly one hundred percent of all home-invasions occur within someone's place of residence?
