A 22-year-old Canadian man has been charged with second-degree murder for shooting a man who had broken into his home to rob him.
One of the burglars who got away, Romario Clarke, 20, is facing charges of breaking and entering as well as unauthorized possession of a firearm, according to a report from the Toronto Star.
Mian’s defense lawyer, Jag Virk, told the Star that Mian lives with his mother — who the burglars were attacking.
“[The] intruder had a gun and was attacking his mother,” Virk said.
The Star report continued, “Virk also stated that Mian’s firearm is registered, adding that his client discharged the gun once and did not intend to kill the intruder. After shooting one of the intruders, Mian allegedly called the police to request assistance.”
As The Blaze pointed out in their report, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated last year that citizens cannot use guns for “self-protection.”
