Its a High Point Pistol cal. Carbine.
10 round mag is standard in 9mm and .40S&W and 9rounds in .45acp
It seems though the first round got her message across quite well.

I don’t think she was aiming to hit. She was firing warning shots. And that was not smart. She now knows at least one of them had a gun. If he had gotten the drop on her, she and her kids would probably be dead because I guarantee the thug would not have fired a warning shot.

Exactly what Hi Point firearms are designed to do.
Defend innocent people on a tight budget.

As the intruders fled the home while shots rang out, one dropped a handgun. He grabbed it and tried to get back into the house but was scared off by more shots.
Begs the question: arrogant or incredibly stupid?

Hitting a perp would reduce the risk of hitting a near neighbor.

The new guy in in his honeymoon period. He may be the real deal.
I think the last two chiefs were porking the help.

She was using a defense rifle. You have a good point. It needs to be used across the board for self defense.

Wow! That anchor is beautiful!
The mom was a black lady. So the question is, where is Rev Jesse and Rev AL? A black lady shot at black yutes.

Too bad she didn’t kill them, and save someone the aggravation sometime in the future.

Maybe she didn’t want to hit them, just scare them away. I never wanted a gun until after my home was broken into. Then, I knew I could at least shoot to wound, and got a nice big pistol that would knock down a wounded man. It also has a hair trigger, because I learned that when terrified, I didn’t have much strength to pull a trigger.

“This is in a U.K. paper? Odd. Such heroics in Detroit should at least appear in the papers in the good old USA.”
Oh, it’s not odd at all. Sort of like “The Voice of America”, and “Radio Free Europe”, except in reverse.

I know that the police have their own rules, but I wouldn't handle a likely loaded, hot and still smoking firearm like this:
