A University of South Carolina student was shot and killed as he apparently tried to enter the wrong home on his off-campus street early on Saturday, police said.
Nicholas Anthony Donofrio, 20, of Connecticut, was dead by the time police responded to reports of a home burglary and shooting, according to a Columbia Police Department news release. Officers found his body on a front porch around 2 a.m., and Donofrio had a gunshot wound to his upper body, the release said.
I know you are being sarcastic, but this is a reality in remote rural areas where cops don’t respond immediately.
Cool! Totally irrelevant! This was a 1.5 mile drive from the nearest police station
We’re talking about a city with a population in the 6 digits. It is not the rural backwoods of Antioch.

If you’re close enough to shoot, you’re close enough to talk to the person you’re shooting. It’s pretty easy to gage what a person’s intentions are that way.
You mean the remote rural areas where the chance of being violently assaulted in your own home by a stranger are at their lowest?
Good thing America sells guns to neo-nazis and domestic abusers with minimal requirements for safe handling and storage then. Otherwise some poor farmer might have their iPad stolen.
That’s a fair counterpoint and I’m not going to dispute that because I agree with you. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s not up for debate that the U.S. Constitution identifies and protects firearm ownership.
