The Gillespie County Sheriff's Office is investigating reports of a fatal shooting and home invasion early Saturday morning. Deputies responded to the residence on the 15000 block of Ranch Road 965 around 12:45 a.m. after the caller reported an intruder had been shot by a person inside the home.
Officials said the homeowner, 73-year-old Curtis Roys, was asleep when he heard a loud banging noise outside. He then discovered a young man on his back patio who, when confronted, pushed his way inside through the patio door and began to assault Roys with a blunt object. Reportedly, he then put Roys into a chokehold, causing him to lose consciousness.
Deputies said Roys' fiancée, 65-year-old Melody Lumpkin, pled several times for the man to stop assaulting him, but the man did not comply. She then retrieved a handgun from the bedroom and fired a warning shot, but deputies said the alleged intruder continued his assault. When she noticed Roys was not moving, Lumpkin then reportedly fired another shot, striking the man in the head. When Roys regained consciousness, officials said they then called 911.

My point is that you have no point.
Sorry if it went over your head
LOL! Hot air always rises.
You are weird!
Allegedly shoots and kills home intruder.
So, what do reflexes have to do with the woman’s responses?
Tactics, maybe, but not reflexes. I think her weapons handling skills are with out doubt as to effectiveness.
Roy’s tactics maybe questioned, her tactics too.
Anyway, regards
Mistake predating mistake 1- not being armed....
