Arizona woman shoots, kills registered sex offender attempting to break into her home
Fox ^ | 8/17/23 | Greg Wehner

A Tucson, Arizona, woman took matters into her own hands by shooting and killing a registered sex offender who attempted to break into her home, according to reports.

FOX 10 in Phoenix reported that the incident occurred at about 2 p.m. on Aug. 11 at a home near Garvey and Pyle Roads.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said a 54-year-old woman was home alone, when 42-year-old Jayson Magrum allegedly tried to break into her home.

The woman saw what was happening and started yelling for Magrum to leave, but he reportedly continued to gain access to the home.

"The female armed herself with a handgun and fired a shot out of a window to attempt to scare the male away," investigators said.

Nice shooting. Pin a medal on her and give her a case of ammunition.

He was pretty determined to keep coming after the shotgun went off near him.

“to attempt to scare the male away,”

So did she scare him?

He probably expected a “twofer”. Her and a free shotgun. Didn’t go as he expected.

I guess you could say he was scared to death.

Hellova warning shot. “Boom, stop or I’ll shoot. Oh, never mind.” She deserves an award of some type.

Those Chicago weekend stories always say “at least 100 shots were fired near the housing project building at Rosa Parks Blvd. and Malcolm X Street last night” and “one man was taken to the ER but is expected to survive.”
Really poor shots.

This time unless the reporting is really poor (possible) it means:

A couple of good comments from the Fox site:
WaldensPond: And yet ANOTHER good reason - and relevant proof! - that Americans NEED the second Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms. Exercising this basic right saved her life.

On another note, she accomplished a valuable public service:
She freed society from another criminal AND
She saved the tax payer a small fortune in legal/court/rehabilitation expenses.

dfry: She also wasted the first round.

Warning shot was a miss, but it prompted him to try and enter the home where he reached for her weapon. This resulted in Mr. Magrum being introduced to Mr. Magnum and was subsequently introduced to floor temperature.

You don't have to register guns in Arizona, nor do you have to be registered to own a gun. Don't have to have a carry permit of any kind, either.

I think libs are gojng soft on crime the way they are for multiple reasons, one being it requires citizens to engage and take out criminals, they want the liability to shift onto citizens rather than them/govt.

There are several other reasons but this is one of them.

Nope.

Which is why I can not approve of the "warning shot" concept.

You shoot to stop the threat.

Then you call the police and a second amendment lawyer. You tell the police that you shot to stop a threat. And then you shut your mouth.

You do not talk to the police, your friends, your family or even your pastor. Your lawyer does the talking for you.

You never talk about it. Ever.
