Any more info on this? It seems very unusual for the neighborhood, although there are a few houses on that block that have some sketchy behavior. Although I feel very badly for whomever this happened to (sounds terrifying), I hope that it wasn't a random thing.

7100 block of Boyer is a very decent block (despite the issues with 200 block of Durham around the corner). Pretty disturbing.

The main thing is that no poor robber was injured or worse by the homeowner. I'd hate to see ANOTHER thread where someone bemoans the fact that some hard-working robber was needlessly shot and killed because of a homeowner.

I heard from a neighbor that it was in the 3rd-floor apartment of a house on the corner of the 100 block of E. Durham & Boyer & that the robbers "knew what they were looking for" & it was drug-related.

I love our neighborhood, but this kind of stuff is disturbing. I'm selfish enough to be glad that it wasn't a random crime. I feel badly for the others who live in that apt building - very scary!
