I guess this guy was one of those rogue ACORN census employees.
I don't think I would have had her restraint. When every one of those seconds and minutes seemed like an eternity, she showed calm and patience (compared to what my reaction would be).
I think I would've just gotten it over with..probably after the first three minutes. I just don't think my ticker could sustain an adrenaline rush that long.
She was definitely good throughout—assertive with the 911 person too. Not rude, but assertive. Call me a fan.
A shotgun blast to the chest can ruin your day.
Half hour call, well I’ll have to listen later, wonder what would’ve happnened to her if she didn’t have a shotgun. In some places I think it’s illegal to own one.
Definitely listen to it. Of course, we’ll never know what could have happened. It could have been a case of some drunk guy at the wrong house but obviously he had a record from the photo. It would be interesting to know what his record was to get some clues. Sorry for the victim that she was put in that position, but glad she was so smart and relatively calm about it. She was emotional at the end understandably, but considering everything she handled the whole thing very well. What a gal!

GOD BLESS YOU DONNA, BTW, no need to ask God for forgiveness.. you were doing His work.. Not only were the angels... (and the shotgun) there to protect you... in fact all the angels in heaven were REJOICING as you carried out the Lord’s work !!
HOOOOAH !

I read and listened to the story...now I know why I got rid of the guns...I could never have pulled the trigger...I guess I could run away or lock doors etc, but I couldn’t do it.
Good for her!
what choice did she have...from what i hear break ins while people are at home are on the rise...better be prepared.
