Something here just doesn’t make any sense to me. Why would the guy continue showering through all this? Whether he was an intruder or just confused and at the wrong house, seems like he would have turned off the shower and gotten out when the owner left. At first I thought maybe the showering man was mentally retarded or maybe had Alzheimer’s, but the article said he was a teacher so he had to be mentally aware. Just seems unbelievable that he just continued showering. Makes me wonder if the whole story is a lie.

Here’s what I suspect. When the owner entered the house the first time, he saw or heard something suspicious. It didn’t rise to the level of calling police, but he didn’t want to investigate further without a gun. Maybe he heard the shower, or saw something out of place. He left, got his gun, and came back to see what was going on. Then he was surprised by the guy in the shower, and panicked.

I read where he had been at a party, went for a walk and got all wet in the rain, then came back and got in the shower. So he may have been drunk, hung-over and got into the wrong house. He may have thought that the shooter was also staying at the house, and the deceased was pissed about the guy telling him to get out of the shower. “Go away, there will be plenty of water for you!”

Of course the homeowner the second time could have been perceived by the drunk as the one doing the “intruding”. One article said their were four houses in a row on this rural road (I used to rent a house like that - four homes on the old farmstead that at one time housed the four kids and their families). And someone surmised that the drunk made his way into the wrong home.

So the drunk could have met the actual owner and perceived him as a threat. Would make my idea of making a citizen’s arrest much more dangerous and complicated.

“Get out of my house! Or I’m making a citizen’s arrest.”)
“What do you mean YOUR house, this is my Aunt’s house - YOU get out!!”

Drunk or high. Or some sort of mental breakdown. There's no normal sequence of logic that would lead a man to break into a stranger's house to take a shower.

...the article said he was a teacher so he had to be mentally aware.

The leftism prevalent among the teaching profession belies that statement.

You make a great point.

Maybe it started as a shower pour deux.

Little scrub-scrub-scrubby of his chub-chub-chubby.

There is an aspect of the hysterical in all this.
