Police say the three suspects broke into the home just before 9 p.m. Once inside, one of the suspects pointed a gun at the male homeowner’s head, forced him to the ground, then checked his wallet for cash. But unbeknownst to the intruders, the woman snuck off and ran into the bedroom where she retrieved her own firearm. The woman emerged from the bedroom to find all three suspects standing over her husband. She then pointed the gun at the suspects and yelled at them to “freeze.” All three immediately ran toward the front door in an attempt to escape. As the suspects made their way to the door, the woman again told them to freeze, but her request went ignored. Two of the suspects took off, but when the third suspect turned around once he reached the door and came at the woman in what she perceived as a threatening manner, she fired two shots, striking the suspect in the shoulder.
