A mother, protecting her young children, faced off with a crook who forced his way into their home. After the brave woman put up a fight, she fatally shot the suspect, who had a history that will make any reasonable-minded person livid and proved he should have never been let loose on our streets.
Robert Rheams came face to face with a mom who was willing to do whatever it took to protect her children.
Robert Rheams, a 51-year-old armed robber, met his match when he broke into a Louisiana home early on a Sunday morning and came face to face with a mom, who was willing to do whatever it took to protect her two young children. The unnamed homeowner not only put up a fight, but she also fatally shot the man who forced his way into her house, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The break-in reportedly occurred at the Hillside Mobile Home Park on Klein Road in the city of Hammond, about an hour north of New Orleans, authorities said. Robert Rheams forced his way into the home of the victim and her two young children while armed with a shovel and a lug wrench. He also had a covering over his face, WWLTV reported. Unfortunately for him, he would soon find out that he had brought the wrong weapons to a gunfight.
After the homeowner and Rheams engaged in a physical altercation, the unnamed woman shot the suspect, leading deputies from the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office to respond to reports of shots fired shortly after 5 am, the sheriff’s office said. Rheams was pronounced dead on the scene by the Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s Office and an investigation into the incident was launched.

Good deal! Another bad guy bites the dust.
Waiting for the reaction from the leftists before possibly hauling her in. I wish I were joking.
Bringing the shovel was thoughtful.

So pleased to see women arming themselves.
Good on her. 🙂
dear God... somebody teach her to hold a pistol!!!
No, Sheriff Daniels has a lot of pull in this state, not just Tangipahoa Parish. His brother is the Governor.
Geaux Tigers.
Never mess with Mama Bear.
Good shooting, mom. Thanks for taking out the trash. You probably saved someone else’s life.
LOL!!!

Fortunately the cops didn’t shoot her as they’ve been known to do to other home defenders.🤨
Seems like there was another happy ending about a week ago. Two in about a week! Nice!
I don’t think that’s her. Just a stock photo.
The link does show a picture of the perp though, and the old trailer he broke into at 5 am.
Couldn’t have gotten much from there.

By the looks of the trailer park and neighbor, it was likely a black on black crime.
