This is a brave lady, who did the right thing.
I hope she puts better locks on her doors.
The only thing I wonder about is why the daughter had an axe and a knife in her room. It makes me think they may have had trouble before.
Maybe Girlscouts or some other camping organization ~ axe and knife gotta’ be somewhere so why not in the bedroom!
How useless is that? On swing with an axe is all she'd get and before it could be lifted again he'd be on top of her. The same goes for a knife. No defense against a crack crazy.
