A Johns Hopkins University student killed an apparent burglar with a samurai sword after discovering the man in his garage, police said Tuesday.
Baltimore, Maryland, police received a phone call shortly before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday about a suspicious person, and an off-duty officer arrived at the scene with campus security, city police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
When authorities arrived, they heard calls for help and for police, he said. They discovered a suspected burglar with a severed left hand and severe lacerations to his upper body, Guglielmi said.

The student should not be charged... The man attacked him.. and while it is unfortunate that the Burglar lost his left hand, the student was just trying to defend himself in the process..
Now if the student came up behind the burglar and lopped his head off.. like a kaishakunin would before seppuku, that would be a different story. Sounds like the student had little choice.

"while it is unfortunate that the Burglar lost his left hand,"
I don't think the burglar is too worried about that left hand; It's not like he'll be needing it anymore.

Get caught stealing lose a hand.
Now, Hank, touch your throat. That tube you feel is your trachea. Think of it as your handle. That thing your thumb is on is your carotid artery. Think of it as your button. I want you to grab the handle, push the button.
