More knife emboldened crime.

Everyone KNOWS guns only shoot innocent children. Oh, except when the police use them, because they NEVER EVER make mistakes.

Seriously though, good on the homeowner. I hope he's able to deal with the trauma ok. Shooting anyone, justified or not, is something no one wants to do and it's never without serious psychological consequence.

I hope the thieves enjoy jail.
