Police have released audio from a 911 call made during a home invasion in Georgia, in which a concerned husband tells his wife to shoot a lawless intruder. The mom was home alone with her twin 9-year-old children when the man broke into their home with a crowbar.

If I recall correctly, the guy was still moving, managed to run away, and survived.

Sounds like she didn’t shoot him enough.

“‘Shoot Him Again! Shoot Him!’: Husband Coaches Wife to Shoot Home Invader in Chilling 911 Audio”

Bad guy was shot. Good guys survived.

Not feeling the chill.

Yeah, not chilled at all. Seems like a mostly feel good story - other than that the burglar didn’t die. Shame about that.

She fired six times. She hit him in the face and neck five times at close range, and he was still not dead. She is the world’s best argument for weapons that can fire a lot more than six shots. What if there had been two intruders?

The Red-Coat at CNN would have rather Melinda be raped and/or killed than protect herself and family.

The perp was after her, there was nothing of value to steal in the attic.

In the Red-Coat's home country that he wishes the US would be more like, Melinda would be arrested and charged with murder.

Happy ending. And that right there is why we all need 30 round magazines.

“Slater– who was taken to the hospital with punctured lungs, a punctured liver, and a punctured stomach

Sounds like she shot him in the chest and stomach not the head.

And if the perp was on PCP she would need a dozen rounds. And if there were two of them a 30 clip would be a minimum.

Libs are detached from reality.

I didn’t read the story yet. However my husband would never have to tell me to shoot. Ha ha. I feel sorry for any sucker who think my man would have to.

The only thing I didn’t hear him say that I would have liked to hear was “reload”.

I’ve read different versions of events. The point is, one little revolver with six rounds in it is not enough. This is why people want and need more firepower.

38 isn’t enough cartridge for tough guys on drugs. I like .45 GDHP by Speer.

Then the idiot husband says to the 911 operator that he heard the perp “pleading.”

On tape.

Idiot. Keep your mouth shut.

Also, 5 rounds to take down one perp. What if there were two? Three? Six?

How many rounds would you want in YOUR magazine?
