Re: Elderly man murdered in Parkview
Sorry to hear that. :(
I was looking last night at some windows that could be used to force entry, and I'm wondering if the time may not have come to install some spike strip onto the inside sills, in addition to the burglar bars.

Wait... the alarm was activated and his wife went and checked?

Re: Elderly man murdered in Parkview
The news report is badly written, but they did not have all the info I guess and even my info is 3rd hand.
He and his wife as well as 3 of their grandchildren were that home asleep at the time in a "secure" complex.
In the early hours of the morning he heard a sound upstairs and went to investigate.
He disturbed an unknown number of bad guys, trying to break in, and was shot though the window from the outside. A bullet past though his heart killing him. He was 78 years old.
The BG/BG's then ran away.
It was when his wife went looking for him she found the body. I'm unclear of when or if the alarm was activated.
Later when someone said "They did not take anything" his grandchild replied "They took my Granddad".
