Redrum, way too close to (my other) home

While I was at work today, in a meeting actually, my mother called me from Philly. She said police cars and an ambulance had pulled up directly across the street. She asked if I could try to find out what was going on. Once I got out of the meeting, I checked the websites of the Philadelphia ABC, CBS, and NBC affiliates. What I saw was... unpleasant at best. I talked to mom a couple hours later and she said the police were still there, and that there were more news vans than she'd ever seen before. She saw a number of her neighbors being interviewed by reporters. If it weren't for the 8-foot tall locked gate in front of mom's house, I suspect those reporters would have been knocking on mom's door to ask her questions, too.

The stories:
ABC Channel 6: Burglary Ends in Murder
CBS Channel 3: Home Robbery Turns Deadly in Juniata
NBC Channel 10: Man Dies After Surprising Burglars in Philadelphia
