One week later, they come back with the correct tools to finishe the job. Assuming noone is home again (remember... Sean was not supposed to be there. He decided last minute to get a second opinion on his knee from his personal doctor the same day) they broke into the home again. This time, they knew where the safe was and headed straight for it. But instead of finding an empty bedroom, they ran into a crazed man with a machete, trying to defend his family. They shoot blindly (due to the shock) and get one in his leg/groin and flee the scene.
A true unfortunate set of events. I feel sorry the family, but I dont htink Sean had many enemies that were out to kill him.

That is exactly how I think it happened, too.
It could also have been that they did know Sean was there and their plan was to coerce him into opening the safe (gun to head, etc). When he came at them w/ the knife, they shot, got scared, and abandoned the plan.
Who knows, though. We won't for a while (if ever), and I feel bad for even postulating about it at this time.
