It was at this point that two large pieces of lead crashed through the door from the inside, striking Keen and knocking him backward. The neighbor claims she warned the “intruder” that she had a gun — nobody will ever know if a word was spoken, because Keen was pronounced dead at the hospital. She called 911 after opening the door and recognizing the body staining the wood of her suburban front porch.
There was no evidence of any breakage associated with the attempted entry. All evidence indicates that Keen used nothing more than his key on the door — which is more evidence than there is that Keen received any warning before getting shot in the chest.

To many folks using guns to solve everyday dilemmas...are laws like "stand ur ground" and easy access to guns really making us safer...or more endangered?

The guy was drunk as a skunk, he's on the front porch of some old lady, rattling her doorknob and making enough noise to wake the dead. If she warned him, he probably didn't take any notice because he was half bloody brain dead anyway.
The old lady shot him.
Now, should she have shot him when he was outside the house, having not yet entered? Probably not. But she's old, feeling vulnerable, and made what she believed to be the right decision. She should have called the cops, yes, but the guy shouldn't have been on her front porch.
Bloke shouldn't have gotten smashed.

A very sad tragedy, my prayers go out to Sam Keen's family members.The guy was drunk as a skunk, he's on the front porch of some old lady, rattling her doorknob and making enough noise to wake the dead.

No one did anything wrong. It was just a confluence of events that provoked a tragedy.
Indeed. A confluence of events that starts with a locked door, and ends with a Texan who would rather kill a neighbor through a locked door than fire a warning shot through its corner. Or not fire at all because locked door. But, she had the legal right in Texas, and there are fortunately no witnesses left to testify on his behalf so its all okay.
George Zimmerman would approve.
What a dumb fucking source. Whiny bastards. She had the right to shoot him. I blame him and his dumb ass friends for allowing him to go home completely drunk. WHY is a married man going out and getting shit faced when he has a wife at home? Maybe its just me because I don't do that...sad story all around but leave it to fucking anti gun rights assholes to make it a political thing.

A capital offense if I have ever hear one....
Now, I finally have a plan on how to deal with all those pesky trick or treaters on Halloween.

Keen, former Marine and current firefighter, had been out celebrating St. Patrick’s day with friends at a few local bars, and by most accounts was thoroughly smashed enough to make the Irish proud. At the end of the night, his friends shoveled Keen into a cab, and sent him home. The cab dropped Keen off in front of his house on Youpon lane, and he proceeded to stumble to his front door.
But houses on Youpon Lane all look pretty much the same in the dark, especially when you’re blind drunk. Keen wound up walking up to the wrong house, which belonged to a 67-year-old woman. Keen tried his key in the lock, but to no avail. As is the way with someone who is staggering drunk, he tried for some time to get the knob to turn, probably baffled by the failure of the lock cylinder to turn
