It Can't Happen Here

A doctor's home in a nice part of Connecticut was both "here" and "home" to the Petit family. A doctor who was well known and respected in his community, with a wife who was a fundraiser for local charities, and their 11 and 17 year-old daughters were probably pretty surprised that day.

A couple of choir boys and angels out on parole bound and beat the good doctor nearly to death, raped and then strangled his wife while she was bound, raped and burned to death the 11 year-old and 'only' burned the 17 year old to death. The now-ex-father/husband narrowly escaped with his life and watched his house burn down on top of what used to be his family.

But "it" could never happen where you live. What do you need a gun for anyway?
