LOGANVILLE, Ga. A Georgia mother hid her two 9-year-old twins and shot an intruder, Paul Ali Slater, several times during a home invasion on Friday, according to multiple media reports.
The Loganville mother said she didnt initially answer when someone knocked on her door around 1 p.m. Friday. When the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her husband at work, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
He then dialed 911 and his 37-year-old wife gathered their 9-year-old twins and hid them in a crawlspace inside the home.
According to the report, the intruder then forced his way into the home and started rummaging through the familys belongings.
When the suspect went into the closet where the family was hiding ,the woman fired six bullets at the suspect, five of which hit alleged suspect Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area.
He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver, Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The woman fled to a neighbors home with her children. The woman and her two children were not injured.
The injured intruder stumbled out of the home and attempted to flee in his car. However, he crashed into a wooded area and collapsed in a neighbors driveway, according to WSB-TV.
The suspect was arrested at the scene. He was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive.
The victims husband said hes proud of his wife.
My wife is a hero. She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do as responsible, prepared gun owner, Donnie Herman told WSB-TV.
Good post. It's important to remind people to be vigilant during prime time hours. We keep our alarm on, and my gun is always in its holster in my pocket.
That’s what I was thinking that had to be loaded with FMJ ammo. It’s definitely better than nothing but not as good as some sort of JHP. Too bad she didn’t hit that SOB five times in the face/neck with +p+ JHP ammo.
“According to WSBTV, Chapman told a reporter late Friday night that Slater has been placed on a ventilator with punctured lungs, a punctured liver and a punctured stomach. Chapman said he has four exit wounds. He said doctors will operate to repair the damage.”
I’m wondering if he got the lung/liver/stomach injuries when he crashed his car.
God bless that woman. It totally irks, but doesn’t surprise, me that MSN originally described her as “trigger happy”.
Had an uncle, old time farmer, used to keep a loaded revolver in his overalls at all times. He lived a full and safe life of seventy plus years, never needed it. Hope i can go the same way...
Need to hit the brain for a good head shot. Looks like natural selection has given this perp a small brain to survive head shots.
I’ve heard tell that some groups have stronger skull bones than others.
I hope she and the two kids don’t have hearing loss. Imagine the sound of all that in a closet. LOL
Paul ali slater...........some old white guy I guess
I went to the GA town paper website and nope, he’s not White.
The ali intrigues me though, is the ali for the Boxer or for the Desert Pedophile?
Dear Home Owner, you may want to consider something that looks a little more like this in a caliber that starts with a "4" with high cap magazines in spite of what the media says.
