A 22 year old son.

I was expecting him to be like 3 or something.

Yeah he is definitely a grown man and took care of business when he needed to.

Im sure your still a son and how old are you? We sons come in all ages shapes and sizes

If you'll forgive the cheap alliteration, how apropos Pro got shot in the posterior - and died.

I am such a sucker for happy endings.

..mad situation.. what would you say Brian would have been done to prevent this from happening? is there way to minimise the risk or could any lesson be taken at all from this situation??

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Well you are right in that this is a mad situation. As to reducing risk there are quite a few things that you could do.

1. Instead of opening the door to a stranger simply talk through the door.
2. View them through a peephole or video camera
3. Install strong door locks, longer screws for physical security, security door, etc.
4. Have an alarm system and signage, etc. so that people understand you have one
5. Have a dog preferably a big dog
6. Have tools available at hand when answering the door

There are more of course. The #1 thing they simply could have done was not answer the door and instead talk through it.
