homeowner shot and killed one of two men
What is a rooming house?
NORTH PHILADELPHIA - November 21, 2009 (WPVI) -- A homeowner of a North Philadelphia rooming house shot and killed one of two men who attempted to carry out a home invasion late Friday night. Police tell Action News that two men forced their way into the home around midnight Friday night armed with guns.
They then encountered the homeowner and at least three other people inside and attempted to rob them.
During the incident, the homeowner produced his own gun and fired at the males striking one of the victims, a 20-year-old, several times.
That male collapsed outside the home and was pronounced dead by fire rescue crews.
The other gunman fled from the scene and police now searching for him.

Re: homeowner shot and killed one of two men
I believe it is similar to a motel
The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

A rooming house is what travelers used to live in before motels/hotels came along. You could be a one night or permenent resident but you rent a room, sometimes laundry and meals are part of the deal.
Germany still has them, called in english, Guest house.

Here's another view of the same story inclusive of ANOTHER home invasion where the owner was killed in Old City (no mention of whether or not the dead owner had a gun): http://www.philly.com/philly/news/pe..._injuries.html

more like a Bed and Breakfast, but cheaper and not usually in a picturesque area.

A North Philly "rooming house" is no where you wanna live.

Hey, the victim protected himself. He may have lived in a poor neck of town, but he sure as hell did not want to die that night.
And what do you know. He (the gun owner) is alive today!
