Woman opens fire on 3 burglars and wins

Hope the link worked. Link worked, this video is almost at the bottom , center of 2nd to last row.
Woman wakes to the sound of a break in, arms herself and confronts 3 armed intruders. Exchanged gunfire with them, fatally wounding one and possibly striking another, all of whom run for their lives with one collapsing and dying in the driveway.

YES!!!!! We could do well with a good deal more of this!!! This woman needs a medal!! 1 recidivist creep out of action permanently, 2 more scared and possibly injured. Yet it's one more in a loooong list of cases where the good guy stopped the bad with a gun that gets a blip and then dropped. Such incidents should make front page news for days afterward
Profanity is the crutch of the illiterate mind.

It is good to live in a depraved time, as one can appear virtuous at little cost.

Just remember......Theres no need to fear....Unnnderdog is here!!! Well, scrappy anyway.....

I don't have facebook so I can't view the video. Where did this incident take place and when, and what news channel covered it? Link says Fox Carolina news but north carolina, south carolina? I could google the story if I had some specifics.

You sir, are a Google-Fu master. I tried googling it using numerous search terms but couldn't find it. I think where I must have went wrong was using Fox Carolina in my search terms which was what was in Scrappy's link instead of fox USA, and the incident took place in Georgia. It would have also helped to know that the video was taken on a home video camera, though logically that's the only way that there could have been any video.

Away, thanks. It was well worth seeing. That woman is Bad-ass and is an example what someone with a gun and a determined MINDSET is capable of doing.

While I am pleased this turned out well for the lady, it brings out an issue that can have a huge impact on a 911 call.

The issue is, as can be heard on the video and reinforced by the 911 operator, poor English. While I am all for legal immigration, English should be mandated as a condition for citizenship.
