By Erin Beck In West Virginia, you can shoot someone if they break into your home if you "reasonably apprehend" they may kill or seriously hurt you or others in the home, or if you "reasonably believe" the intruder or attacker intends to commit a felony and you "reasonably believe" deadly force is necessary, according to state law. The law does not allow you to shoot people for looting at other people's homes.
