Mother of 2 fatally shoots alleged intruder, claims self-defense

The mother, who asked not to be identified, told TMJ4 News that she was in the shower when she heard her 12 and 14-year-old children screaming from the living room.

MILWAUKEE — A woman, defending her children, she claimed, shot and killed an intruder who broke into her home on Monday morning.

The mother, who asked not to be identified, told TMJ4 News that she was in the shower when she heard her 12 and 14-year-old children screaming from the living room.

Without hesitation, she raced to her bedroom, grabbed her gun, and ran into the hallway to face down the intruder, she said.

"It all happened so fast — an adrenaline rush," she said.

The man, she said, was already being attacked by her two pit bulls, but she shot him multiple times because "he wouldn't stop coming."

A neighbor called her a "hero."

The mother said the intruder appeared to be in his late 30s and was acting erratically.

Milwaukee Police have not identified the man. They arrested the woman but released her several hours later after questioning.

Police said they won't be releasing any more information, and the incident will be referred to the District Attorney's Office.

The mother said her children are frightened, and they plan to move out once they're able to find a new home.

A neighbor and a community activist helped clean up the crime scene after authorities removed the body.

The mother bought the gun ten years ago, she said, after discovering a man sleeping under her son's bed. She said she hoped she'd never need to use it.

"I knew I'd be able to do it [shoot the intruder]," she said. "To protect my kids."

Soros prosecutor, no doubt.

It's like the old Russian prisons, where they allowed the Russian gangsters to terrorize the weaker convicts.

The Soros prosecutors catch and release the murderous criminal types, and lock up the harmless law-abiding citizens.

Kyle Rittenhouse effect? I’m coming up blank on why they would arrest her.
Maybe the officer in charge was just trying to do his job the right way.

Since they do not know who he is how could they possibly know how he identifies?

In fact, aren't they assuming to say "man"?

Perhaps he identified as a head of elephant garlic.

She sure will be in trouble if the dead guy happens to have a relationship with her?

It is Wisconsin. One cannot hurt or harm the criminal in the Northeastern and Northern States. The Criminal , plying their trade is protected by Law.

If she had mugged and assaulted the intruder before she shot him, she would have gotten off scot-free.

Anarcho-tyranny would seem to be the answer.

They arrested the woman....

Why?

She was naked, so was indecently exposed to her children, thus contributing to their delinquency?

She was naked, so wasn't able to conceal carry, so was open carrying?

They couldn't arrest the dead guy, so she was next-best choice?

Maybe they're just idiots?

I would say the last is the most probable.

“ He was black, she’s white?”
****************************
Although I’m not 100% sure I think both the mother and the intruder are black. That’s just guessing from the neighborhood. More and more black women are, wisely IMHO, arming themselves for self defense.

Idiot reporters. The guy is dead, he has no civil rights to protect.
