A woman was forced to defended herself from her armed boyfriend during a domestic violence incident inside their Casselberry, Fla., home on Dec. 10, 2020.

The incident occurred before 8:30 a.m. when the couple was in the middle of an argument that escalated. The boyfriend pinned the woman against the bed and tried to suffocate her with a pillow while holding a gun to her head. The woman was able to break free from his grasp and retrieve a gun from the bottom shelf of a nightstand.

The woman then attempted to flee with the boyfriend in pursuit. She then turned a fired at him, striking him in the chest. The woman then ran outside, with the boyfriend still chasing her. The boyfriend then shot her in the left arm, to which the woman responded with several more shots which hit the boyfriend in the chest again. She then ran to a neighbor's house, where a man called police. The woman then ran back into her home to try and aid her stricken boyfriend, who died of his wounds. (orlandosentinel.com

From the Armed Citizen® Archives September 1973

In the course of a liquor store stickup, a thief aimed a .32 caliber revolver at Newark, N.J., store owner Michael Lambusta's head and pulled the trigger. The gun misfired, and before the robber could fire again, Lambusta quickly seized his own pistol from a shelf and fired once, fatally wounding his assailant. (the Star-Ledger, Newark, N.J.)
