Breitbart Big Government ^ | February 20,2015 | by AWR HAWKINS

On February 19, a widow in Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed an alleged burglar one week after her son gave her a gun “to keep her safe.”

According to 10TV, the woman heard someone breaking in around 5 am, grabbed her gun, and “fired multiple shots at [the suspect].” He was rushed to a hospital but pronounced dead two hours later.

Police identified the suspect as “28-year-old Christopher Lee Willis.” They suspect that Willis “also broke into neighboring homes.”

Residents near the widow’s home heard her fire the gun. One person, startled by the sound, got up and checked on her kids to be sure they were all right.

The widow’s son said he never thought his mother would actually have to use the gun.

“Alleged” burglar? Well, hell, if we’re going to give him the benefit of the doubt, why don’t we give the widow the same? Alleged widow allegedly shoots alleged burglar with alleged gun her alleged son allegedly bought her last week. Allegedly.

On the upside, the fellow’s only allegedly dead. It’s something.

The idiot was chased from the home across the street where his attempted burglary was foiled. What a major moron—well was..

If he is dead the word “alleged” is no longer necessary.
