A University of South Carolina student was shot and killed as he apparently tried to enter the wrong home on his off-campus street early on Saturday, police said.

Nicholas Anthony Donofrio, 20, of Connecticut, was dead by the time police responded to reports of a home burglary and shooting, according to a Columbia Police Department news release. Officers found his body on a front porch around 2 a.m., and Donofrio had a gunshot wound to his upper body, the release said.

    Did you even make it to the end of that paper? It openly states that the discrepancies could be due to flawed data or that fact that widespread firearm ownership has resulted in criminals that will straight up execute you if things get out of hand.

    Congratulations, you traded “having your phone stolen” for “having your child die screaming in agony on their classroom floor because a legal gun owner shot them in the spine”.

      I’m fine with the compromise. All studies point out possible flaws. Nothing new.

        Of course you are, you think it proves you right. You’d be fine with it being written in crayon.

        The rest of us are justifiably more skeptical about a paper that doesn’t say what you imply it says and mispells “firearms” in the very first paragraph.
