Most accidents with firearms are caused by kids or adults who do not know how to safely handle a firearm, and they get access to the gun.
If you are going to play with rattlesnakes, and you aren't trained in how to do it safely, you can expect to get bit, sooner or later.
Owners know to lock up their guns - but they don't do it. God only knows why.

Why unfortunately? Why do we want the man to die? Any violent assault he had in mind was averted. Why does he deserve to die, for breaking into a house?

It's a woman alone with two kids, in the middle of the day, on a work day.
Now ask yourself:
"Why did he choose that house to break into?" There were empty houses in the neighborhood, at that time. "Why this house?"
Because he knew there was a woman in the house.
He wasn't after money, he wasn't after prescription meds or drugs. He intended to rape the woman. Whether he would have killed her (and the two kids who might ID him), or not, I don't know. The sheriff said "Yes, there would have been three homicides there."
I'd have to see his record of previous offenses, and his drug work up at the hospital, to make any call on that.
He's not able to walk around, just yet. She hit him 5 times out of the 6 shots she fired (it was a revolver). They know how to handle it so that he's left penniless from the hospital bills, in addition to facing criminal and other civil charges.
He's a broken toy, imo. He's either a robber, burglar, and probable rapist, or a robber, burglar, rapist, and probable murderer. He needs to be returned to his maker.
