It looks like the victim stopped the suspect in his tracks. The victim is a 57 year old woman who lives alone. But that only made her more prepared to protect herself. Even though she was abruptly awakened while asleep, it didn't take long for her to come to her senses and take aim at the suspect who turned out to be a neighbor.

Detectives say 19 year old Justin Brent Haynie got into his neighbors home while she slept and put a knife to her throat.

During the struggle Sergeant Calvin Chew says the victim, a 57 year old woman who lives alone somehow managed to grab her .357 off the nightstand....

OK, the writing on this story was so horrible I couldn’t even finish it....and I’m such a reader, I read cereal boxes!!! Boo hiss hiss! (not to you, to the writer)

[cubreporter]

She lives to tell the tale of the intruder BECAUSE she had a gun! Good for her. That of course would NEVER happen to the politicians and hollywood because THEIR BODYGUARDS have guns. Who protects us?????? WE DO!!! The lady gets a gold medal in my book.

[Boston Blackie]

The story has an upbeat ending...the intruder was shot.

I thought you were exaggerating so I attempted to read the article. I think it was directly transcribed from a 14 year old’s cellphone text messages.

L8R!

[james500]

“was directly transcribed”? Dang...

[Gondring]

Story by Renita Crawford, Reporter...

...but in fairness, it's a TV story, so the writing is meant for broadcast delivery, not to be read. (Plus, only part of the story was posted.)

Yes it was! I could do better and I needs a job..........

[Lurker]

Haynie is in serious condition in a local hospital. He's expected to be o.k.

Too bad.

But there was a recent article posted on FR where the police said that we shouldn’t resist but make good reports and be good witnesses. Don’t you FEEEELLL that she was wrong to fight back? /S SARC SARC SARC

Lets have a round of applause for this fine lady! I hope she has kids and grandkids with the same spirit!

Barney the Report Taker: "Yes. Her loved ones were denied the opportunity to look her in the face and murmur such things as 'Doesn't she look morally superior?' and 'The funeral home did a great job of hiding where he sliced her ear to ear.'"

A good reason not to disclose your home protection scheme to the neighbors.
