His family may be having a hard time with this, but how on earth can they say he didn't go there with any intent to hurt her???? She backed off as far as she could. She was in an upstairs bedroom closet with him on top of her- she couldn't have waited any longer to shoot!
Whoever the friend was who gave her the gun, he or she saved this lady's life by giving her the means to protect herself. Thank God she was strong and courageous enough to use those means when she had to.
I'm sorry she had to go to that extent to protect herself but not sorry she did it.
I just love a happy ending!
I couldn’t hear the shots.
How different would the out come have been had this woman not had a firearm and the courage to use it. Always fight to keep the gun grabbers from disarming honest law abiding citizens!
Thank God!
I pray she never has a "next time" but if she does, I would advise her to shoot sooner.

Glad she made it and had the sense to get a firearm. Otherwise she would be dead.
Good shooting ma’am.
Sorry she had to go through this.
When the dispatcher tells the woman, “It’s only been two minutes,” it was already over four minutes.
I heard two of the shots on the tape.
At first I thought the shots were noise from him breaking down the door, but I listened again.
It sounds to me like he came in the door, came at her, and she is saying stop it. And then a shot, and she says stop it, another shot. I don’t hear the third shot. But you can hear him saying (after the first 2 shots) “Are you trying to kill me?” He says this after she shot him at least twice.
She needed a larger caliber.
As the brother of a wonderful woman and mother of two who didn’t have the chance to make it the last ten feet to her firearms, I’m thankful that this poor woman did. Praying for her.
Thank God a good friend loaned her a gun....that friend saved her life!!
Thank God for her friend who loaned the gun to her.
Hope she returns it and buys one of her own now.
Friend of mine with Houston PD shot an armed robber 3 times in the gut with .45, using jacketed HP’s.
Robber lived, in jail, my friend said “every time he empties his colostomy bag, he remembers me.”
LOL
No he went there to break a window to enter her home and then kick her bedroom door down for a nice game of Parcheesi.
Your right, The dispatch says “they’re on their way, it’s only been two minutes”, 4:08 minutes after the start of the 911 call.
To liberals, it’s just another ‘gun related death’ that they’ll add to the totals to show how dangerous firearms are.
Bergner’s dad needs to man up and admit he raised a bully who was intent on the ultimate death of this woman. The Bergner family should hang their heads in shame and never mention the son’s name again.
This woman is my hero and should be the poster Woman for CCW!
