Talk about a brave gun owner. In light of all the talks of gun rights, this woman was able to defend herself and her children inside her home, when an intruder broke in. I am sure she is very happy for her 2nd amendment rights.
11 Alive:
A mother shot dead an intruder in her Portland home Saturday after she found them in her child’s bedroom.
The woman, 33, who has not been named, returned home with her two children to find the 59-year-old man, who she then shot and killed, reported 11 Alive.
Police arrived at the home in Portland at about 1.47 am, when they found a dead man inside.
The homeowner had called 911 and told officers she shot him.
The mother had been out with her two children, 5 and 10, when she came home and spotted the man in one of her kid’s bedrooms.
Police are still investigating the incident and will present the case at Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office to see if the mother will be charged.
The 33-year-old has been co-operating with the investigation and was not arrested.
An autopsy will be conducted on the suspect Monday and the medical examiner will attempt to notify the suspect’s family, after which his name is expected to be released.
