Many years ago in San Diego, I discovered something I'd never known about modern apartments. At about 10:30 one night I heard someone at my door. I watched the door handle turn and in walked a complete stranger, having used a key to gain access to my unit. He was stunned. I was stunned. Turned out he'd gotten off on the wrong floor (there were only 3 so WTH.) He was in the same unit on the 3rd floor.
I call the management office the next day. They only had 4 basic keys for the entire 300+ unit complex. Odds of someone else having the key to your front door was 1 in 4. It's very common in newer buildings. Apartments built prior to the 1970s or 1980s have unique locks because apparently they cared about their tenant's safety more than the convenience of having fewer keys to create.
What I can't get over is that she didn't recognize the fact that the furniture in that apartment wasn't hers. And just how did she not realize before she opened the door that she wasn't at the right apartment? And what gives her the right to shoot someone she thinks is in her apartment when she isn't in it? Stand your ground or whatever stupid interpretation each state may have doesn't apply if you're not actually in your home or on your property.
What a senseless, stupid thing to happen.
