I think she saved her own life.

A Tennessee woman who found her stalker ex-boyfriend hiding under her bed shot him in the foot and held him until his arrest Tuesday, police said.
Tony Joe Gunter, 52, violated the woman’s order of protection against him by sneaking into her Nashville-area home while she was having a security system installed around 3 p.m., according to a Goodlettsville police affidavit cited by WZTV.
The woman had ended her relationship of two years with Gunter earlier this month after finding out about his criminal history, according to investigators. He vowed, “I will kill you, you stupid c--t,” when she told him to go and never come back, the affidavit showed.
The woman filed for the order of protection after she said Gunter broke into her Shevel Drive home three different times, according to police. She had changed her locks twice, and she hired ADT to install a home security system Tuesday.
Investigators said she was looking for her phone in her room when she noticed Gunter’s feet under her bed. She shot him in the left foot and asked the ADT staff member who worked on her system to dial 911, according to police.
The woman then held Gunter at gunpoint until police arrived to the home, the affidavit showed. He later told investigators he had grabbed the woman’s phone so that she wouldn’t be able to call the police.

A. I love a Happy Ending...
B. She needs more range time! :)
An order of protection isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Just a reminder to this young lady; if you are going to shoot, always shoot to “ELIMINATE THE TARGET PERMANENTLY”.
Neither are ADT security systems. They keep teenagers out, but not real life criminals.
Well, shootin’ him in the foot probably slowed him down a bit, and avoided a possible homicide charge.
She should have aimed for his crotch.
He was under the bed and his foot was the only target visible and available. Good shooting, especially since she had the ADT guy there as a witness.
In thi case not likely with his break-in history and death threat.
I think she saved her own life.
Aim higher! Much higher! .............
Restraining orders mean nothing to these psychopaths. A good friend and neighbor was stalked for over a year by an ex-girlfriend even tho he had a restraining order against her...multiple car vandalisms, stalking him when he was in church, broke into his house, the list goes on.......Unfortunately for him, he reached his breaking point but at least she's no longer in the picture.
I dunno, she hit the only thing showing at the moment. A foot is not such a big target ...
OK. Props for that.
Extra points if she didn’t put a hole in the new comforter. ;)
Hey. Didn’t he write a song about a poke salad woman? Those tennessee names all sound alike.
The right to keep and bear arms. Because restraining orders don’t mean [that guy’s brains].
Good thing she didn’t have a queen sized bed or the extra length may have kept him hidden.
Clearly, this is a very dangerous man. I’m not sure that she’s protected enough, but other than leaving the area, there’s only so much that she can do.
Liberal gun grabbers, including elected Democrat scum like Congressman Rangel, would gladly deprive women like this of the right to defend themselves with a gun. Why are Democrats waging war on abused women?
