Feel good story of the the day. Thankful she had a gun.
Via KIRO:
Thanksgiving morning, police say a mother shot an intruder who was trying to break in to her Edmonds home.
It happened in the 16400 block of 75th Avenue West, in a house overlooking Puget Sound.
After pounding at her door at 3:15am, police said the 22-year-old suspect tried to force his way inside.
“They thought they knew this person, by the pounding on the door,” Sgt. Bob Barker said. “That’s why it was open initially. Then they realized it wasn’t, they tried to push him out, it didn’t work.
When she knew she couldn’t keep him out the woman fired one shot hitting the suspect in the stomach, detectives said.
The woman’s husband and children, ages 14, 10, and 5, were in the home along with a friend of the 14-year-old. They called 911 before the mother shot the suspect, detectives said.
