...of the home invasions that involve the death of a homeowner, slightly better than 50% of the time the homeowner is killed with their own weapon.

In lethal encounters, what are the statistics on the aggressor?

For example, with these hypothetical statistics, if the homeowner is armed, ...

90% of the time the aggressor is killed with the homeowner's weapon.
5% of the time the homeowner is killed with the aggressor's weapon.
5% of the time the homeowner is killed with his own weapon.

Or more simply, irregardless of how the homeowner dies, what are the chances of the homeowner's death if he is armed versus unarmed?
