A burglar shot and killed by a mother as she hid her baby in a closet during a home invasion was a serial criminal who'd only recently been freed from jail...

Well, this is Illinois, where democrat prioritize criminals over actual citizens. You don't really expect criminals to serve out sentences. Fortunately, this time someone was willing to do what democrats won't do - hold criminals accountable for bad decisions.

Nice shooting Mom.

[DUMBGRUNT]

From site comments: Very familiar with this area. $500,000 homes. It's more Shorewood/Plainfield than Joliet. The savage thought easy pickings. He thought wrong. -1 savage.

His LAST Burglary

[DUMBGRUNT]

Would that be a burglary or an attempted burglary?

[Tudorfly]

It would be a significantly unsuccessful home invasion.

[anton]

That is an actual burglary even though he did not make it out with anything. It was probably an attempted robbery, rape or murder though.

Hat tip to Mrs. John Wayne

Shelby Hurd, 36, died last Tuesday after being blasted in the head with a bullet while entering the unidentified mother's home in Joliet, Illinois.

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

I love a happy ending

She shot him in the head, too! Not center mass.

I wonder if she’s well trained and practiced a lot or just a lucky shot.

[gundog]

The burglary was when he entered...call it a Pyrrhic burglary.

Maybe I’m getting soft in my old age, but I don’t think they should press charges.

They say it is better to be lucky than good.

bkmk

[SaveFerris]

Break-in for sure 😀

Escaped with nothing

Maybe he was attempting rape too

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Best of all is Lucky AND Good.

Where I live that is a dump. Most places here are $1,000,000
and up.
She was probably very close and was using a small
caliber gun. Good shooting Mom!
Here in rural Hawaii, he would have been tossed into
a gulch where pigs would eat him and nobody would call the cops.

My nomination for Mom of the Year:

[Christopher]

It’s a Plainfield address, but it’s Joliet municipal services though, so when you call 911 JPD/JFD show up, plus it’s Joliet water/sewer.

Source: I live in the subdivision.

[The Antiyuppie]

She should get a cut of the taxpayer savings from the judicial/incarceration system. Too bad it didn’t happen when the perp was in his early 20’s.

[Kartographer]

Assited suicide?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Suicide by mom.
