Early one morning, a woman was working on her computer when she noticed one of her windows being opened from the outside. As the intruder entered the home, she warned him that she had a gun, but he did not heed the warning. The woman then fired twice, wounding the trespasser. The criminal will face burglary charges and police said that the homeowner did the right thing when faced with the potentially dangerous situation. (Fox13News.com, St. Petersburg, FL, 2/16/17)

Mrs. L.E. Lewter, 78, of Vivian, La., heard a strange noise about 2 a.m., so she took a .38 pistol to investigate. As she entered the kitchen of her home, a young man sprang through a window he had just forced open, struck her in the head with a pipe, and then began choking her. Mrs. Lewter shot the man in the head, killing him instantly. (The Shreveport Journal, Shreveport-Bossier City, LA)
