Last week a 19-year-old woman and a 30-year-old woman were charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and the Nevada crime of burglary. Last month the women allegedly burglarized a home when they were surprised by the occupant's father, whom one of the women reportedly then shot. They also face theft charges for another unrelated incident.
The Nevada crime of burglary is a very specific offense that's defined as the entry into any structure or vehicle with the intent to commit a felony, larceny, assault, battery, or obtaining money by false pretenses inside the structure or vehicle. It is not considered burglary to enter a home with no intent to commit an offense even if the person then decides to break a law while inside. Note that a person may be convicted of burglary even if he didn't have to "break in" in order to enter the structure or vehicle.
