ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —
Channel 9 talked with a University of Central Florida student who pulled a gun on two violent intruders who attacked her boyfriend and threatened her life.
The incident happened midafternoon at the Village of Alafaya Club, which sits down the street from the university.
The couple, who are both students at UCF, said they got a knock at the door and when they opened it, two men barged in.
Victim Nour Skargee said he answered the door and was immediately forced to the ground as one of the men pointed a gun at his head.
"They said they were going to kill (her), and that's when I really lost hope, you know?" Skargee said.
Skargee's girlfriend, Sable Nehme, tried to lock herself in her room and grabbed a revolver just as one of the men burst in.

Aren’t there laws against brandishing? /S
“Nehme said her father sent the gun to her for protection.” Raises some questions as to how he “sent” her the gun. Possible issue for the dad and daughter? Please OCSD, let it slide. Also, please young lady get lots of training in the use of that firearm. Next time it could be a case of pop a perp.
“The couple said they found out later that the weapon the burglars used was really a pellet gun.”
Tough hop. If someone comes through the door threatening to kill me, I don’t care if they’ve got a Pez dispenser in their hand.
It’s hammer time!
You betcha! No regrets either.
And they found out how, were the perps caught? As you say, if they're holding it to your head you don't care what it is, you react.
Students to be suspended in 3..2...1....
I don’t see where the perps were apprehended. If they are still at large, why no description? Oh, right.
A hint was given. The second one wore a hoodie....
Could have had a better ending.
bkmk
I know.
#5: If it is an original Star Wars Pez dispenser, save it and put it on Ebay. The money would help ease your pain for wasting the perp.
I’ve got a Bobba Fett Pez dispenser around somewhere. Worth about 10 cents but it still works which pleases my granddaughter, Princess Magnificent.
In another story, they said the perps dropped the gun. Many perps learn to ditch the gun to prevent being caught with it. It is one of the reasons criminals seldom wear holsters. They take too much time to get rid of.
If indeed Knucklehead Guy did open the door without checking first, in this case, he was lucky to get the rare “Darwin’s Reprieve.”
Because Gal had courage, and knew what to do: she knew where her firearm was, knew it was loaded, had time to cock it, then demonstrated a good “Two Handed Grip”.
She did very well.
But Knucklehead Guy gets an “F” in street smarts.
Thank you Lord, that Florida has wonderful gun laws.

Nice.. This is a reason for conceal carry on the university campus of Florida, FL lawmakers!!
Even a 6-8 foot pound air pistol will probably penetrate your skull point blank.
It may well have been an airsoft gun.
