The suspect in a California home-invasion robbery that left four people dead, including the gunman, was a paroled gang member suspected in a separate shooting earlier that day, police said Monday.Mr. Xue Lor sounds like he was a good candidate for stiffer sentencing guidelines. Plus, there's no denying he is the perfect example of why gun-rights folks preach what they do about home defense and stand-your-ground and all that.
Police identified 26-year-old Xue Lor as the suspect who fatally shot three people and critically wounded another before he was fatally shot during the attack in Sacramento around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
Robbery appears to be the motive behind the killings, officials said.
Investigators believe Lor demanded money from the victims before he opened fire, killing a husband and wife who lived there, as well as a male guest identified as 33-year-old Lee Doua Cha.
Lor was shot by the dead couple's son, said Officer Michele Gigante, a Sacramento police spokeswoman. The son was not injured and is not under arrest, she said.
The fact is however, this kind of incident is extremely rare. All the fear-driven preparations for such an unlikely event as this, result in untold numbers of "accidents," false DGUs and gun flow into the criminal world.
Overall, guns do more harm than good.
