WEST COVINA, Calif. - A woman made a 911 call from her suburban mansion to report an attempted break-in, but her pleas were interrupted by gunshots, then silence: She had been shot to death.

Help is on the way.

When seconds count, police are minutes away. Dial 911 and die.

Anyone have the audio yet?

Great for playing to city council meetings on gun grabs.

Just so people know the whole story here....

I was watching this on the news last night and a few glaring facts stuck out...

This house is in a very wealthy neighborhood
This house is surrounded by a high security fence
This house has a state of the art surveillance and security system in place and operating
This neighborhood has had several daytime burglaries recently, so the police were aware of a burglar at large targeting these houses

And still, the unfortunate woman died whilst awaiting to be saved by the police. A gun in her hand would have trumped all the other precautions and saved her life. You think there is a lesson there?

Somewhere out there from a few years back is audio of a similar 911 call where a little old lady is attacked by a home intruder while she was on the phone with 911. Didn’t have gun shots, but you could hear the guy coming through the door then the lady starts screaming.

That audio and this audio (if it ever becomes available) should be played loud and clear to every gun grabber that says “you don’t need a gun, call the police”

The story indicates she called in and stated someone was trying to break into her home, she actually did the correct thing, and called for backup, since she was apparently alone. It's too bad she didn't have a weapon for use when the bad guys actually entered...

I am not going to mock the woman for not having a loaded gun within reach. Her choice. Not everyone is comfortable with firearms, and they take their chances.

I call BS. Couldn’t have happened, must be an urban legend. Calling 911 makes you impervious to being harmed and scares the bad guys away, don’t you know that?

Wait, she must have had her gun taken away from her and used on her. That has to be it.
