Tampa, Florida - A Hillsborough County middle school teacher shot and killed a burglar who burst into her home Friday morning.

Sheriff's deputies say 62-year-old Juanita Enzor was in her bedroom around 5 a.m. when a man kicked in the front door. Detectives say when the man confronted Enzor, she grabbed her gun and fired, shooting the man in the chest.

The bleeding, injured suspect then started attacking Enzor, but she managed to escape and run from her home.

Deputies arrived at the scene on Kirkland Drive and found the suspect dead inside.

Enzor was slightly injured in the attack. She is a 6th grade teacher at Memorial Middle School in Tampa.

The suspect has been identified as 40-year-old Mark C. Johnson.

A close call. I would like to know the make, model, and caliber of the firearm that she used. Reporters just don't seem interested in details anymore.

She should have kept firing into center mass until the threat subsided.

Good thing her gun wasn’t locked up and disassembled.

Whatever caliber or model it was she went for center of mass and one shot was sufficient. She should get a ten thousand dollar award from the county for disposing of vermin.

It is good news to know that not all teachers are liberals.

An excellent article on gun control.
Aim for center mass!

On second thoughts, it doesn’t matter. Alive or dead, he will vote the same way.

Just like in the other thread about the armed couple who stopped a robber, I say make an ad about this kind of think. If it were up to zer0bama, law abiding citizens would have no right to defend themselves against the scum. McCain could gain some votes with that line.

Like I posted in another thread.

If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.

I like have a more even playing field.

I understand your curiosity, but it's just as well they don't. As with most things, reporters are woefully ignorant about firearms. One often hears descriptions like "20 caliber semiautomatic pump shotgun." Their standard practice is to use any terms that they think might make them sound sinister.

The Judges understand, she’s an Obama supporter and she’ll get a free pass.

"She should have kept firing into center mass until the threat subsided."

Two to C.O.M., followed by one to the head has been proven to be more effective -- particularly with a smaller caliber.

The central nervous system is amazingly susceptible to trauma. I once read the results of a test where the shooter dropped a 250-lb hog in his tracks with a single (wimpy .25 ACP) round to the head...

Of course not. From Russia to Germany to Venezuela, the criminal element has been an unofficial arm of the revolutionary parties, especially in their insurgent phase. Terrorizing and disrupting a preaceful, preferably unarmed middle class is helpful in the consolidation of power.
