The shooting adds the issue that the city is having with burglaries. Since February, seven intruders have been killed by homeowners.
Police Officer Jennifer Moreno spoke with the Post and says that citizens are tired of the crime buthave been left with no choice to defend themselves.
"The citizens of Detroit are very tired of being bullied by these thugs, for lack of a better word," Moreno said. "They're defending themselves and their property and they have every right to do so."
Moreno says that the city supports the citizens that are defending themselves.
"We've been very supportive of citizens that are arming themselves," said Moreno."They are law-abiding citizens. These are the ones who are in their domain and inside their homes, and if you can't have peace at home, where can you?"
