This is the dramatic moment a mother-of-two opened fire with an assault rifle on intruders who tried to smash their way into her home.
The woman took action after three hooded individuals kicked down the door of her Detroit home on Monday night where she lives with her two young children.
She fired off rounds in a bid to deter the would-be burglars, later saying she 'didn't have time to get scared'. The unnamed mother told WXYZ Detroit: 'I let them know I had a gun once they were in the house and they challenged me and said "no you don't have a gun" so that's when I shot off the first round.
...
As the intruders fled the home while shots rang out, one dropped a handgun. He grabbed it and tried to get back into the house but was scared off by more shots.
All three suspects are seen running through thick snow from the house. No one was hurt in the incident.
Police arrested three teenage suspects a short time later.

Its a High Point Pistol cal. Carbine.
10 round mag is standard in 9mm and .40S&W and 9rounds in .45acp
It seems though the first round got her message across quite well.
I don’t think she was aiming to hit. She was firing warning shots. And that was not smart. She now knows at least one of them had a gun. If he had gotten the drop on her, she and her kids would probably be dead because I guarantee the thug would not have fired a warning shot.
Exactly what Hi Point firearms are designed to do.
Defend innocent people on a tight budget.
No, but if Obama had a son...
“No one was hurt in the incident. “
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At least the thugs were arrested.
What he isn’t banging the help? That’s a step up from the last guy.
Hitting a perp would reduce the risk of hitting a near neighbor.
High Point Carbine (9mm, 40 S&W, .45 acp) — Excellent value for around $300.00
I think the last two chiefs were porking the help.
Bump
She was using a defense rifle. You have a good point. It needs to be used across the board for self defense.
Wow! That anchor is beautiful!
The mom was a black lady. So the question is, where is Rev Jesse and Rev AL? A black lady shot at black yutes.
oops my mistake.. she had to give one a refresher course !
Too bad she didn’t kill them, and save someone the aggravation sometime in the future.
I just loves a happy ending!.......................

A happier ending would have included 3 body bags.
Maybe she didn’t want to hit them, just scare them away. I never wanted a gun until after my home was broken into. Then, I knew I could at least shoot to wound, and got a nice big pistol that would knock down a wounded man. It also has a hair trigger, because I learned that when terrified, I didn’t have much strength to pull a trigger.
“This is in a U.K. paper? Odd. Such heroics in Detroit should at least appear in the papers in the good old USA.”
Oh, it’s not odd at all. Sort of like “The Voice of America”, and “Radio Free Europe”, except in reverse.
Gee, can't he be both ?
