Of course I'm speculating, but this has to be a targeted attack. The neighborhood is pretty swanky, neighbors have said it's very peaceful, and his home has been targeted several times.
I have been thinking the exact same thing since reading the Miami Herald article. If this is the case there is probably a better than average chance of catching the piece of scum that did this.
More importantly right now, based on the last Insider update, we should all be praying hard for ST. It's all we can do to help.

Not just from a football standpoint, I really truly hope that Sean comes out ok even if he can't play again. He is just so young.

My friend just called me. He is listening to 980AM locally and heard that when Sean's house was broken into a week ago the intruders rifled through his belongings and left a large knife on the bed. Maybe to send a message? A warning? Something is going here. This can't be random. Especially when I hear the report that Taylor grabbed a large knife to confront the attackers.

He must have flat-lined for a pretty long time for them to be worrying about trauma to the brain. Don't you have to be out for at 10-20+ seconds for any serious brain injury? I'm a Psych/Crim major so I don't know about medical issues. Anyone with medical knowledge feel free to inform me/us.
When I was medical school, one of the surgery department heads used to berate any students who were ever late. He used to say that if you're 5 mins late to a code (when a patient "flat-lines")--there's only one person you should call at that point--the pathologist for an autopsy.
Brain cells start dying under 5 minutes. The longer ST experienced cerebral hypoxia--obviously the worse his current and longterm prognosis.
