Thank God these women were armed and had the courage to pull the trigger. I only wish people would go down to their local dog pound and adopt the biggest dog there. Best deterrent in the world for burglars is a big, nasty, noisy dog. The barking alone keeps burglars away and they make great companions and you save the life of a dog that would otherwise be destroyed.

"...I mean that's a shame he got shot, but he had no business breaking in there," one witness said.

That's not a shame, that's Great! It's a shame her aim wasn't better.

"European Union, United Nations, Iraq Condemn Barbaric 'Self Defence' Shooting in Detroit"

Thousands in France , Belgeum, and the Netherlands took to the streets, upsetting motorcars and burning storefronts to protest the 'American culture of violence'......

Looks like the ladies did good, but could have done a lot better..

1) Get a larger caliber piece, maybe a .357 Ladysmith or something similiar

2) Crank a bunch of rounds at their local gun range. Pop old beer cans etc. but get used to the feel of their weapon.

3) Aim better, go for a chest shot or a head shot. (ties in with number 2)

Glad it worked out for them and they are safe, just hope they learned some lessons from the experience.

Always Remember:
Cops really dont protect you, they only get there to clean up the mess...

The woman wasn't arrested? I'm shocked that self defense is still legal here.

It's a good thing she heard him break in and had time to escape.

"...maybe a .357 Ladysmith"

..with lighter powder load, and maybe a 110 gr. JHP, so you knock the bad guy flat, but don't disturb the neighbors in the house next door (and the one next to them, and the next house, and maybe the house after that, too).

We think alike.....
But if you have to shoot someone you might as well go all the way.
The Ladysmith is great for ladies but I keep an OLD S&W Model 19 loaded with 158 gr JHP hollowpoints at all times and within easy reach.
Probly a bit large for the ladies tho.
