Around 5 a.m. on April 21, a man in Medford, Ore., called police to report a neighbor who was screaming and behaving erratically. As police were en route, the neighbor allegedly began chopping at another neighbor’s door with an axe. Fearing for their life, that neighbor shot the axe-wielding man, striking him in an [unreported] extremity.
Police transported the suspect to the hospital for treatment; no others were injured in the incident. (krdv.com, Medford, Ore., 4/21/26)

Alerted when she saw a strange car drive up and the occupants knock on the door, a 19-year-old woman got a rifle and hid in a bedroom closet. When the men broke through a cellar door and entered the bedroom, she stepped out of the closet, trained the gun on them and ordered them out. They fled.
