Was it breaking and entering if the door was unlocked?
This story is about Wu, Li and Liang. No... they aren't famous Chinese lawyers. One of them will need a lawyer, but I doubt it will help.Yvonne Wu was in a relationship with Jenny Li and they dated for two years. They broke up 3 weeks ago.
Jenny found a new lover, Jamie Liang and the two of them were in Jenny's home when Yvonne arrived and entered through the back door that was unlocked.
Some background information:
Yvonne Wu, 31, is a police officer who works at the 72nd Precinct NYPD.
Using a police issued Glock 19, Wu (allegedly) fired multiple shots at the 2 women.
Li was able to call 911.
Liang later died and Li took a bullet through an artery and into a lung. She escaped death.
One story reported Wu found them in bed.
Wu, is a five-year veteran of the force, now charged with murder and attempted murder.
Following her arrest, she admitted wanting to kill herself.
My opinion: Yeah, had she done that Jamie would be alive and Jenny wouldn't be in the hospital recovering.
I saw this story a few days ago when it was first reported and again today when more detail came forth.
I take issue with the news story calling it a love triangle. Technically, the relationship between Yvonne and Jenny had already ended.
Yvonne entered through an unlocked door. It would appear that was considered breaking and entering.

Officer Wu began her career as a member of the NYPD’s Explorers program. Sources said she received four medals and good evaluations consistently.
Housebreaking or entering with intent to commit a crime consists of unlawfully and intentionally breaking into and/or entering a unlocked building or structure with the intention of committing some crime in it.
Is a crime here.
Regardless, more information:
“She was still staying there on and off. She was still staying there some nights. It’s not that strange, maybe she thought it could still work out,” the source said.
“When the cops get there, she says, ‘I shot them both. The gun’s inside,’ calm as can be,” the source said.
My blog title was about the bated news headline of breaking and entering.
i had an experience of kicking out an ex boyfriend. i own the property but he still had a key. even though i dumped him, since he had lived there i had to have a constable post a letter on both doors stating ex was evicted.
before i had the letter posted, my ex showed up.
luckily, when ex showed up, i had changed the locks.
