This slug intended to rape that woman. He had free, guick reign of that house with little chance of cops getting there before he left with whatever he could score...he didn't want that; he wanted to rape the woman plain and simple.
My daughter agrees and she really gets concerned at nights, even with a Doberman Pinscher to alert her. I had her take a handgun defense/safety course along with my wife...4 hours classroom and 4 hours range. Each had a 357 Magnum S&W 686 I gave them. Both did extremely well in shooting.
Yesterday (I take my daughter every Lady's Day Tuesday) at the range, she was shooting deadeye and I kept pushing the target back 5 feet at a time without her seeing (reloading).....she ended up putting 18 rounds on target at 50 ft. with the 686, half on the red and the other half inside the 9 ring, all with 357 mags.
I'm certain if she sees a perp and starts shooting, the bastard won't end up leaving the hospital months later for jail...he'll be in a body bag with a couple of head/heart shots.
