I knew a fellow that had custody of his two young girls, one 7 and one 11. All were in bed asleep, with their doors closed. The girls had bunkbeds. Mr. X heard a noise and thought that it was his air-conditioner, (wasn't sure) but he did go into the hallway and get his pistol. He put an ear to his girls' room before entering. When he heard something going on, he opened the door, and a man had his eldest daughter by the throat and was trying to drag her through the now, open window. When I asked him what happened next, he told me that without hesitation, he put a bullet right between the guy's eyes. Good thing he was a sharpshooter.
