BLUE MOUND, Texas — When two gunmen smashed through the glass front door of her suburban Fort Worth home, Kellie Hoehn didn't think twice.
The 34-year-old mother of two grabbed a shotgun that had been pointed at her face early Wednesday, starting a struggle that ended with one intruder killed with his own weapon and another in the hospital.
"I wasn't going to let them get to my babies," she said, recalling the moment when she pushed up the muzzle of the shotgun, pointing it away from her children's rooms.
Although the intruders told her to keep quiet, she screamed for her husband. She told her 12-year-old son, who was awakened by the sound of the shattering glass front door, to get his 5-year-old sister and hide.
"It was like a horror movie," her husband, 32-year-old Keith Hoehn, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I thought I was a dead man. We're fighting for our lives."
With Kellie Hoehn clinging to the weapon's muzzle, her husband tackled the man who held the shotgun. She knocked the intruder in the head with a jar candle, giving her husband a chance to wrest the shotgun.
By then the tussle had spilled out onto the front lawn. Keith Hoehn shot one of the men who had a pistol, police said. Wounded, that man ran away.
Then the intruder who initially had the shotgun charged Keith Hoehn.
Kellie Hoehn told The Dallas Morning News that she screamed at her husband, "Shoot him, shoot him, shoot him."
Her husband fired the shotgun and the man fell to the ground. Then the shot man lunged a second time.

Well, that just goes to show you that gun grabbers were right all along. You shouldn't have guns, because it's not safe and the gun will just get taken away and used on you. So, if you're a Criminal, just, um....wait a sec.....
never mind.

Stupid reporter tricks again. The woman’s husband shot both intruders, killing one.
Still good ending.

Texans are getting wimpy compared to how they used to be. In the old days, they would have strung the perp’s corpse up on a tree and possibly even dressed him out. ;-)

Texas Woman Kills Home Intruder With His Own Gun
No wonder the lamestream media is a dying breed. Don't they even read their own stories before attaching a title?
The Texas husband is the one that shot and killed the home intruder.

Bad title. The woman didn’t shoot the criminal. Her husband did.
