Exercising the Right
Hero Mom Defends Children
WTMJ-TV, the NBC affiliate in Milwaukee, reported on August 17 about a mother who sprang into action and defended her children from an intruder. The woman was in the shower when she heard her children screaming that someone had broken into the house. The mother had bought a gun 10 years ago after finding an intruder sleeping under her child’s bed.
The mother was now prepared, and grabbed the gun from her bedroom and rushed into the living room. Once there, she witnessed an intruder fighting with her two dogs. She yelled for the man to stop, but he kept advancing, so she fired her gun at him. The suspect died at the scene from the gunshot wound. The mother, who did not want to be identified, told WTMJ-TV, “It all happened so fast — an adrenaline rush…. I knew I’d be able to do it [shoot the intruder] … to protect my kids.”
The investigation is still ongoing, but neighbors lauded her actions, with one even going so far as to call her a “hero.”
