Authorities are investigating at least three shootings this week when the victim of a robbery or burglary shot the people allegedly committing the crimes.
. Law enforcement believes she was shot after burglarizing cars. Another man she had been with managed to run away.
"I would caution people to be careful when using deadly force," said Charles Adams, a FOX 26 contributor, former judge and former police officer. Last week, there was a shootout between a gun owner and someone allegedly trying to steal his girlfriend’s vehicle outside his home. Authorities say the gun owner was shot and killed after confronting the alleged burglar.
"A gun is not a magic wand," said Adams. "If you’re going to carry a gun, don’t have the mistake and belief that brandishing it is going to fix all your problems. You need to train, train, train. Use it as a tool, but only when you absolutely have to."Officials urge gun owners to know the laws and to only use deadly force if absolutely necessary.
