A 32-year-old man who threatened to harm his ex-girlfriend was shot in the groin by her while breaking into her Grants Pass home early Monday and later arrested, police say. Michael L. Fouch was taken to a hospital for treatment and then booked into the Josephine County Jail on suspicion of fourth-degree assault and menacing, according to the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety.

The 31-year-old woman called 911 around 1 a.m. when Fouch arrived at her home and was still on the line when Fouch forced his way into her bedroom, where she retreated with her child, police said. She fired one shot soon after.

In MA, I suspect she'd actually be in trouble. Hopefully Oregon is sensible.

She was probably aiming there to avoid any place vitally important.

She was taught to take care of the little things in life and the big things will take care of themselves.

Ouch. A bullet in the b*lls!
He threatened her, then broke into her house, so he deserved it.

Can’t remember the precise wording but I heard a statement that “Why do liberals believe a woman who shoots her violent attacker is wrong, but a woman who is found raped and dead, strangled by her own pantyhose is somehow noble?”

[Southern Oregon man shot in groin by ex-girlfriend after breaking into her house...]

“Needs more range time.”

Why, was she aiming for the *other* testicle?

"Hopefully Oregon is sensible."

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Carry me home to die! Oh, that hurts...

No, Oregon is NOT sensible. Living up here, you quickly realize that the cumulative IQ of the Portland, Eugene, Salem corridor is about bra size.

We're waiting for the state's attorney to charge her.

I like this woman.

Weenie liberals would have advised her to get a Restraining Order for her protection.

Somehow I don’t see waiving a court ordered piece of paper is going to stop a rapist.

A single shot to the groin? Yeppers. That’ll stop ‘em.

Sure will.

Fouch. I like that name.

It’s like two words run together one might say when one is shot in the nuts.

The first word is fu-—. The second is ouch. Put ‘em together and you get Fouch!

Sad. This cases checks all the boxes --

She called 911 and tried to have the proper authorities handle this problem. (Of course they were too slow.)
She retreated into a bedroom
She had a child with her that needed protection.
The guy broke in the door, clearly showing violent intent.
She fired just one shot. Just the minimum to protect herself and the child. 911 operator must have heard the whole thing.

And I guess the "do-gooders" will insist that she should have somehow handled it differently.

Generally a bad idea to shoot to maim an intruder. Only leads to lawsuits and the possibility of a future intrusion. Always best to act in a definitive manner when you are under assault and in harms way.
