Like this girl didn't have enough on her plate already! I hope she has the support needed during this time in her life.

Nothing more dangerous than a Mother protecting her child.

Well done her. If that happened in the UK she would have been done for murder, sent to prison and had her baby taken off her for killing the poor burglar.

Know what pi$$es me off more than anything about this story? The burgler attemted to get to her once before, on the day of her husband's funeral!!!!!! You know that if she didn't shoot, she probably wasn't going to come out of this alive or at least raped
And while she has no qualms protecting her child, she has to live with this.

Did you steal our laws or was the other way around ? There was a case like this 6 yes ago,but the mother her used a knife,got promptly arrested and the kid sent to some orphanage or care place since she had no relative to let him be with.I remember there were major repercussions and hungry lawyers wanting to represent her on tv...dont know the follow up,but it was messed up, the guy she murdered was her ex who THREATENED the kid to get to her,more then justified in my opinion....justice system..bah.

Sorry, Blade, can't agree with you here.
He knocked down a door to gain entrance and was armed. Once he did that, he had to face the possibility that whoever was in that house was going to defend themselves. There is no way his behavior could be interpreted as anything other that life threatening.
I can only imagine that you feel differently if she was a member of your family.

This would be a justified defense in just about every state in this country. She did
it right, and protected her home and family under the most stressful time after just
loosing her husband on Christmas. I am sure he is looking down and Saying you go girl.

I just love it when a violent criminal gets his DRT paperwork.
