An intended rape victim shot and killed her attacker this morning in Cape Girardeau when he broke into her home to rape her a second time, police said.
The 57-year-old woman shot Ronnie W. Preyer, 47, a registered sex offender, in the chest with a shotgun when he broke through her locked basement door.
The woman told police he was the same man who raped her several days earlier. Officials do not intend to seek charges against her.
Ronnie Preyer.

Let’s hope he didn’t “vote early”...
Good shooting, dearie.
Nothing like a shotgun, with the stock near your upper hip.

I wish for her sake, she would have used the gun the first time

She was home alone again Friday about 2:15 a.m. when Preyer broke the same basement window. The victim was awake watching television, when Preyer switched off the electricity to her house. She tried to call 911, but couldn't because the power was off. She got a shotgun and waited as the man began banging on the basement door. She fired when Preyer came crashing through the door. When Preyer collapsed, the woman escaped and went to a neighbor's home, where she called police.
In urban SF area and LA California counties this woman would be charged with first degree murder with the special circumstance of "lying in wait", because of her statement.
Even though a conviction would be unlikely, the purpose is to punish the citizen financially and open the door for a civil suit by the perp's family. That's how rotten the prosecutors and cops are here.
They would base this prosecution on her statement ("got a shotgun and waited") to them (without a lawyer). No lawyer would allow that statement.

"He was taken to St. Francis Medical Center, where he died several hours later." I sure hope the pain was excrutiating and that the docs couldn't give him meds because of the bleeding.

One thing's for sure:
Ronnie Preyer will never rape anyone ever again.
That's a Good Thing.

Problem solved. Wish she’d been able to get this guy the first time, before anything happened to her. Good thing this guy won’t be victimizing anyone else.
