I was curious about that and checked who owns property on that street. Somebody named Cofield owns a house on that street, so it seems likely it was the homeowner (or family member) who was shot unless it was somebody from that house robbing their neighbor.

Not if the owners do as they are supposed to and lock them up. Even a earthquake, fire, theft, or a rhino can get into mine. Unless you have crane ;-) (Besides the one by my bed) Be safe! Glad the owners weren't hurt.
