Woman shoots, kills intruder in Detroit

Woman shoots, kills intruder in Detroit
Feb 28, 2014

(WXYZ) - Detroit Police say a woman shot and killed an intruder Friday afternoon at her home in the 22700 block of Grove.

Police say a man in his 20s attempted to break into her home through a rear window. When the homeowner heard the noise, she grabbed her handgun and warned the invader that she was armed.

***

This incident follows two separate home invasions in Detroit last Saturday where two homeowners killed people breaking into their homes.

***

Police have said these results will make thieves think twice before barging into a home.

Should this be posted in GD as big news? According to some such incidents never happen.

The firearm enabled her bloodlust.


Or what ever the victim first crowd would say...

and he would have left her alone.

Or she could have thrown a can of beans of a bicycle tire at him instead.

THAT'S what they'd say.

At least that seems to be the concept one cut and paste poster used to try and deflect the use of a gun to defend one's home.

Three Detroit women in one week, whew.
