Widow shoots, kills intruder a week after getting a gun for self-defense

One man is dead after he broke into two homes in Columbus, Ohio, early Thursday morning.

Just before 5 a.m., the suspect, who was later identified as 28-year-old Christopher Lee Willis, broke into a home before being chased away by the homeowner. In an effort to escape, Willis broke a second-story window and jumped from the roof.

Willis then ran across the street to the home of Sharon Jessee, where he broke another window and attempted to get inside. Jessee, who was asleep on the couch and was awakened by sound of glass shattering, grabbed a gun and fired several shots, striking Willis.

A call was placed to 911 and the caller reportedly told the dispatcher, “She shot him. She shot him good.”

Willis was transported to the hospital, but died about two hours later.

Buck Jessee said he was concerned about his widowed mother being safe and bought her a gun for protection just last week.

“Just like this situation right here,” Buck told a local NBC affiliate. “That’s why I bought it.”

Yes she did.

I still get an uneasy feeling in gut at this Case. My gut tells me that Progressive Lawyers and Gun Control Freaks are going to cause more trouble.

I hope the son doesn’t get charged with being a ‘straw buyer’ or illegally transferring a gun. That’s what they’re trying to do to us in OR - make sure we have to do a check every time you hand your gun to another person.

Was she targeted cause she was recently widowed? Read the obits and go after the remaining mourning one?
These feral ones cannot stoop low enough at times.
