How many typically show up at a time for home invasions in your neighborhood?

Something doesn't seem right. Why would 5 guys randomly invade what appears to be a humble residence in a not so great part of town. I'm guessing there is more to the story.

You rarely see a follow up, so i doubt we'll ever know

Why would a 21 year old enter a house with a shotgun and kill two people then take the only witness camping?

You may be right though.

I think the lone nut is easier to explain than a group of 5 guys collaborating to invade a random residence. There has to be a collective motivation- enough money/drugs/loot to split uo, revenge, gang hit ......... something. I would love more details in a story like this.

Gang or drug dealer related was my first thought, but like you said, we'll never know.
