When her daughter frantically told Sandra Valencia that a burglar was breaking into their Harris County, Texas, home, the fact that the 26-year-old mother was in the shower didn't slow her response. Telling her daughter to call police when she grabbed her revolver, Valencia confronted the intruder in the kitchen. When the burglar hefted a bar stool, the housewife lifted her revolver and fired, fatally wounding the criminal. (The Chronicle, Houston, Texas)
