A Frayser woman shot and killed an intruder who kicked in her apartment door and tried to rob her around midnight Sunday.
Tameca Drummer, a resident at Carriage House apartments at 1115 Frayser Blvd., told police the man, along with two others, forced their way into her home demanding money.
The people in her apartment, including her two children, were forced into the living room, while one of the intruders forced her into the bedroom looking for money, police spokesman Sgt. Vince Higgins said.
When that man struck her on the head with his handgun, she wrestled the gun away from him and shot and killed him, according to a police incident report.
Two other men involved in the attempted burglary fled in a teal green minivan. Police were still looking for them Monday.
The Fire Department members who arrived on the scene pronounced the intruder dead.

Shows just how stupid the criminals are in Memphis. No one has any money in Frazier, and everyone has a gun.
That'll teach'im!
good for her!
Ping!
"teal green minivan"
LOL
Sounds like one bad mamma!
She didn't have a gun, she took his away from him.
I like when that happens.
How embarrassing! Any self respecting robber should rather be shot than to flee in a 'teal green minivan'.
You keep believing that.
She has one now and he doesn't. He is now dead and his gun ownership has been terminated. So maybe now everyone in Frazier has a gun.
lol! So true
"When that man struck her on the head with his handgun, she wrestled the gun away from him and shot and killed him, according to a police incident report."
Sniff! (Tears flowing) I love a happy ending...
No she doesn't, the police have it, 'evidence' you know. Mine sits on the night stand when I go to bed. On my hip when I need to leave home.
I wonder if she will now purchase a weapon.
Gotta love those "feel good" stories!!!
She may or may not have been a gun owner, but she certainly had more than passing familiarity with the operation of guns, to be able to grab an unfamiliar gun from a violent male intruder (just after being whacked in the head with it!) and shoot him dead.
Oh, well. Somebody should donate one to her.
I leave an empty gun in view of the front door so that any perp coming in the house has the ability to threaten my life if he finds the bullets before I get off my first shot.
