Hmmm... Google could be your friend, if you're interested in letting some truth into that artfully constructed, hostile shell within which you subsist.
I'm going to keep it short, in hope that those of you who advocate restricting the Second-Amendment-warranted freedom to keep and bear arms ... might just ... 'click and learn.'

Deputies responded to a home in the 13400 block of Loyalty Road in the area of Taylorstown, Va., at about 11:30 a.m. Residents told authorities a man knocked on the door and said he had a delivery, and then forced his way into the home along with three other suspects.

"PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – Two more suspects have been arrested in connection with a violent home invasion in Portsmouth last October.
Samantha Johnson, 24, of Moyock, North Carolina, turned herself in Monday. She was wanted on outstanding indictments for abduction, robbery, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and breaking and entering.
Jeffrey D. Salsgiver of the Chesapeake was arrested Monday afternoon by Portsmouth Police for the same outstanding indictments. He was indicted on these charges March 6 by a Portsmouth Grand Jury and is currently in the custody of the Portsmouth Sheriff’s Office.
Both are charged in connection with an October 2 home invasion in the 3900 block of Long Point Boulevard in Portsmouth. When officers arrived at the home that night, they found a 29-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the back — he was one of four masked suspects who entered the home with weapons and tried to rob the victims. One of the victims fired a handgun, hitting the 29-year-old suspect."

Repeated, just to make sure it is comprehended.
"When officers arrived at the home that night, they found a 29-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the back — he was one of four masked suspects who entered the home with weapons and tried to rob the victims. One of the victims fired a handgun, hitting the 29-year-old suspect." The outcome of this incident is more appealling to me, than the outcomes described in the preceding articles.
