  11. How can a mad person plan to break into a a building with the sole aim of stealing a particular item and singling a building he can steal that item from? How did he know how to fire? To stab the owner to get his way? I bet this person is not really mad but only pretending to get his way without being punished. Well done Police for shooting this criminal.
